I also like your fixation with routes, routes, routes. makes you wonder how Coventry is still open doesn't it
Well oddly enough, that's what makes an airport the most money! Commercial flights generate PSCs, fill car parks and keep shops busy, and they also mean significantly higher fuel farm usage.

Of course, there are plenty of smaller facilities which can survive off GA and a few bizjets, but that's not what we're talking about here.

Being open, operating passenger flights, and making money are three very different things. I suggest CVT is the former and not the latter, but whatever is happening here, I am merely an external commentator, I have nothing (and never have had anything) to do with the running of the airport, if that is what you are implying.
