On a theme Transport for London of have been spouting copious amounts of hot air re domestic connectivity or lack of it at Heathrow and how a 3rd runway will bring back those connections, hopefully in circa 15 years time when the thing actually gets built.
Hot air bagso? Hmmm
I think it's a good idea to allow the UK's only world hub airport to have domestic connections, you're intentionally mixing together two issues, (again).
Maybe somebody at MAG could respond by indicating that Manchester serves more than double the domestic airports served by LHR and LGW as at, er NOW !
Except MAN will never be able to offer the level of connections of LHR, nor is anyone suggesting it could, simply because of a comparably smaller O&D market. You can have as many flybe connections to Etihad as you like but it's a drip in a puddle without a based hub and spoke carrier.
connectivity to long haul at Manchester is not that far behind Amsterdam !
ROFL OK, seriously? AMS with KLM's based fleet of 117 mainline aircraft of which 69 are long haul heavies compared to MAN's ~ 18 scheduled long haul heavies per day? You have a career awaiting in politics young man
