In terms of the quote from O'Toole 'most of europe is covered', I kind of see where he is coming from.
But the quote attributed to Ken O'Toole was even more all embracing. He doesn't just refer to major cities but any destination where there is demand. If there is no demand from the region, fair enough. But what if existing services from our catchment area do exist and show there is demand? Does MAN simply sit back or should it be actively trying to win some of those routes either with or from competitor airports. Some destinations in France and Poland come to mind, along of course with Bucharest.

Mr O’Toole added: “We believe there is not a destination in Europe for which there is demand that we do not have an existing service to.
That said, I do accept there are opportunities for increasing frequencies, and just with the locos.
