All this stuff about the destination Airport is complete rubbish.
Easy for example advertise flights from Newcastle in central scotland.
They obviously think people will travel to use that connection.
For years and to this day people have to travel to airports in the south of England to connect to thier final destination.
There are many factors which dictate why an individual chooses to fly a particular route and operator.
The CEO,s of both BA and Easy are way of the mark when they try to score points over Ryan over the airports they operate from.
Prestwick the airport nobody wanted. Now handling over 1.5 million pax from all over europe.
At the end of the day it is financial perfomance which matters.
The Low cost tag is Bull Droppings.
It is who manages the best Business.
The 2 recent resignations from Easy are unfortunate as both individuals are two of the more capable individuals in the flight ops department.
