If more punters want to travel from this airport, there are 3 options:-

1, For each flight, larger aircraft are used.

2, You make full use of the 1440 minutes that are available in each 24 hour period. (Pax may have to fly at unsociable times, but the M25 might be quieter at that time of day).

3, Build another runway.

It's not rocket-science.

Looking at the GAL board website, the limited aviation experience of those at the top is lamentable. Several have other jobs besides running the airport. At least one of the individuals lives in America. Hardly surprising problems occur.

P.S. What happened to 'Red'? He ran NATS for a few years. Interesting to note that the GAL HQ is called 'Destination Hose'.
