Respectfully Cuthere, if FR exited LDY the case for keeping the airport open is questionable. As it stands the airport is nowhere near economically viable with the support of the local Derry/Strabane subsidy. At approx 300k pax per annum it has a way to go to make the numbers stack. I'm not entirely sure if FR would up sticks. So it is a fair question on TrueBlue's part as to what could happen if FR exited.
While LDY has its own thread, the NI airports compete heavily hence completely on thread to discuss other airports as a knock on interconnected theme to that of BFS... Or BHD for that matter...
Happy New Year to one and all on the forum...!
