How many is it then? Can you honestly say what the p2p loads Oct-May on LHR-NQY are to justify any commercial return on a slot? I genuinely would like to know the number of connecting pax from the NQY area flying on from LHR.
Why do BA need to serve NQY when they can make the passengers use the train and use the slots for more profitable international routes? There's no need to serve NQY, as unlike LBA, they're hardly fighting for market share with KLM. BA tried LGW-NQY a while back, just after they dropped the BRT DHC8 run. Hardly a success. If you want to live in one of the most remote parts of the UK then great, however you asking a lot for the world to serve your local airport just cos you live nearby, it's not as if there's a load of industry in the area. Cornwall's tourism and second homes, it's never, ever going to justify a LHR slot, certainly not twice daily on an A319.
Inverness would be before you in the queue for that one!
