I'm sorry, but over my cold, dead body will I accept the government using taxpayers money to subsidise a successful industry. If some of our smaller regional airports need handouts to survive, than sadly they're probably not commercially viable.
As far as I can see, the UK is already a very well connected country in aviation terms.
