The LBA doesn't have a transport hub.If you fly from the LBA you use your own or a friends transport, a taxi or the bus.The lack of a transport hub doesn't stop nearly 3 million passengers using the airport. Peel are claiming that a lack of a transport hub is the reason that they can't compete with the likes of Newcastle and Manchester.what utter rubbish.You build your passenger base first with airlines and routes.You have to be able to fly your passengers to destination that they want to go to.Once you have sufficient numbers then it might be feasible to look at building a transport hub but that is way into the future.Unless a transport hub is sustainable then there is no way that the finance would be available.to build it.Another Peel red herring
