I take your post seriously, & there is a good deal of sense in there. Generally, I accept it as a reasonable explanation of the situation. But, I cannot see how the two airports can act in combination as if they were just one airport.
My worry is that there is not that much extra business which will be attracted by offering parallel routes out of 'HH. Surely, if the demand was there it would already be using 'HI. Is 'HI so congested that it is unable to accommodate extra services ? I do not think so.
You would think that BEE knows what it is doing;& how to run its business. But, I am not so sure, given how they have been acting over the past two years - & especially lately (Cardiff, Southend, LCY etc.).
I still feel that the two airports do not complement each other & that parallel services will dilute each airports passenger levels.
