PIK3141, respectfully I think S1F gets the point. What about his questions?

Are you suggesting that if the cost base were improved they could attract additional airlines, if so which ones?

PIK had immense competition and it doesn't matter how low they get the costs, GLA is a strong competitor and FR have proven the case of GLA over PIK on the business types, eg STN and then Dublin the numbers have been impressive in terms of growth. Yes they put on more capacity ex GLA, but the PIK DUB route had it been as attractive, they'd have done the same frequency from there.

My view is that if PIK want a sustainable future they need to focus on areas where they can offer a pint of difference, eg cargo etc. Is never going to be fruitful passenger wise.
