I genuinely think it's simply a case of too many airports serving the same services in a relatively small market place - eh Birmingham has the same population as Ireland yet - we have services like Paris operating from cork Dublin and Shannon less than two hours away from each other - There's a proven market for UK services from all the airports given the diaspora links and prob sun services - the inbound European services appear to be challenging from regional airports especially with all the major growth recently at Dublin
