You mean cities in Europe, the great big land mass with 500m people. Please explain how the situation compares to N.I. with the water dividing it from everywhere other than a cheaper country that pinches 800000 pax per year not to mention its start on air freight business. No, I think the 2 airports are not sustainable and hope we can sort it out sooner rather than later
