There must be a point where airports n airlines read forums like this trying to gauge public opinion or needs.
onyxcrowle Airlines do not start routes because of reading something in a forum,assuming they look at forums like Pprune.On this thread you probably have no more than 20 regular contributors, not a large number for considering flying a new route.Airlines are set up hopefully to make profits if they don,t they go out of business rather quickly.They will be looking at statistics in regard to size of catchment area,how many airports nearby.Historical passenger figures.They look at the surrounding area social grade and its six
groups A, B, C1, C2, D and E.Unemployment rates.average earnings and lots of other data. Also how much will the airport discount their landing fees,use of airport infrastructure etc. If the figures add up then they might consider using the airport.The major problem for DTV is that Peel do not appear to be airline friendly.
