I see silly season is upon us:


Bosses say that over a million passengers from Greater Manchester 'betrayed' them last year to fly from the likes of Liverpool and also Birmingham airports
Quite a strong choice of words, and ones I do not agree with in any shape or form.

The airline industry is a consumers market. Its about choice, flexibility, price and what best suits your needs. Just because LPL or BHX meets your needs more for that particular flight does not mean the consumer has betrayed you.

Im all for trying to increase your market, but saying that your target customers are betraying you, not the way to go Im afraid.

Seems a new peak of rivalry has come about. After the new LPL CEO stated that 'Norwegian saw that we could do it better' (funny considering MAN served by Norwegian longer and also got a new service, so obviously cannot do it that much better), and now this by MAN, looks like things are going to get interesting.
