I clearly understand the financial implications of starting new routes and the airlines are not attracted to NCL, I work in the airline industry.
I understand that NCL has 40 movements a day whereas the likes of MAN has over 200.
Err - lets look at the CAA statistics for May 2015.
http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/80/airport...K_Airports.pdf
NCL had 3963 air transport movements in May, an average of 128 per day
MAN had 14776 air transport movements in May, an average of 477 per day
As you work in the airline industry, let's hope that your job doesn't depend on making inaccurate assumptions... At least I suppose you were right in the statement that Manchester has over 200.....
