Anyone 'threatening' to go to CWL is going to get laughed at by BRS management.
Its been the grave of countless airlines.
BRS management have it right - they charge a reasonable rate (unlike say BHX) and they invest a reasonable amount and in the end it all just works. Their business case is compelling so the standard RYR tactics for airport negotiation are of little concern to BRS management. At the end of the day they have something the RYR want and CWL doesn't unless there is public subsidy on the table.
Investment money is currently pouring into BRS airport.
