Chill out every one......

In this present climate new routes don't alway's mean 'new' customers!! In the past we have seen same customer spreading between routes meaning no one win's! The airport is doing a good job of keeping what we have got and it's priority is getting the likes of BRU back.
If you can think of a route, think who will loose out?? E.g. FRA great route to have but would kill DUS and KLM, BA, EK and AF would all take a knock!! That's why the likes of NYC appeal, yes some knock to hub carriers BUT a big gain from pax's road/train to MCT/LHR/EDI/GLA! Plus how many west bound cities become one stop from NCL just as EK have done east bound!!
