I think you will find the original question was IF there was a subsidised route to Cornwall would it not be better to have it to LHR not LGW since twice as many people use that airport. In Simon's defence he WAS answering the original question and as he lives here I suggest he knows the scene and has never claimed to know the solution. We all have a view on what we would like to see but let us all agree once and for all what we could see?
If anyone doesn't agree with any of the following, shout now..
There are no slots at LHR or LGW
A LHR service is not viable on cost
A LGW service is still unlikley to be viable on cost
Any link needs frequency, twice daily is not enough
There are not enough passengers to fill anything over 50 seats with frequency
There is nowhere else to land adjacent to LHR or LGW at this time
Am I right so far?
