New York
I'll be very interested to see how this route does. In fairly accurate terms it uses the 2.6 million population of the North East. When this population has been used up on the route very very few people will come from outside of the NE to use the route as there will be no need. I don't think I am being too controversial to say it will be touch and go?
I would imagine exactly the same comments were made just before Emirates launched (I'd have said the same myself!). Here's hoping for the same result!
