MME's catchment area is fine, it's been said before and it'll be said again, we had nearly a million passengers eight years ago, those million passengers haven't gone anywhere, they're still here, and if you walk into any town centre within the region, stop people at random, and ask them where they'd prefer to fly from, the answer every time is MME, the vast majority of flights that have been axed from the airport over the years have been full, CAA stats show that, so yield is lacking I hear you say, so increase fares a little bit! An extra tenner isn't going to deter the pax!
