Also, there's room for quite a few year round UK routes, 12 weekly transatlantic flights for the worst part of the winter (JAN-MAR), and Europeans.
In my opinion, the West region is most underserved in terms of European Routes. Routes to Cities like Madrid, Lisbon, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Cologne, Rome, Amsterdam, Brussels are all possible and Sustainable but they aren't happening.
But if they are sustainable why isn't any airline operating them ?
