Nobody's going to be losing jobs over 3 routes a week. It's a shame about Norwegian because with the right routes they could have made the operation out of Liverpool a success.
Listening to BBC Radio merseyside the other day they had a 2 hour appearance from a couple of board members and they spoke not for the first time of a hub route being there number 1 priority.
But who? KLM would be brilliant but they've already had a go and despite good loads they couldn't make it work. Can't see BA, Air France or Lufthansa being interested. They sounded like they have something up there sleeves but what?
LPL is massively under served with some basic destinations, somebody like Jet2 coming in could clean up. Far more room for routes to Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Croatia, Italy, Germany amongst others. Liverpool is massively under served at the moment for a regional airport with its catchment area.
2007 pax numbers of 5.5m show that the pax are out there. I hope for the airports sake they manage to get something new for next year, because the monopoly EZY & RYR have on the place is crazy, especially when neither are expanding at LPL.
