Sorry but the hub airport is always going to be in the South East, I am baffled why once again we are linking it to MAN or EMA?
The hub airport is always going to be in the southeast, and at LHR.
If MAN had oodles of capacity, at the wrong times by the way, then it doesn't need Davies to help it. Things are good at MAN, and getting better. New T1 development coming, new US routes starting, Air Canada returning. Bagso it's all bluster really isn't it? I genuinely fail to see what's driving you on this? What's your outcome in your ideal scenario, paint a likely picture?
Indeed things are good at MAN and getting better.
