I see the point and fully understand it. I respect it also. But I totally disagree. Who would have dreamt how many regional UK airports would see successful Emirates and other services. It's like saying why have any transatlantic operations at all from NI. You have to dream bigger at times. Yes I appreciate our population is small but it's not the only factor. Amongst other things why should DUB have all and NI be like the poor relation. Was talking to someone just recently who's off to PMI and driving to DUB to do so despite how competitive and frequent it is from both Belfast airports, and the attitude was a shrugged shoulder when I asked why? Our airports and government needs to challenge this. Just think how much revenue and tax we are missing out on. This is where despite my feelings towards FR I welcome them and the business they are generating and opening up markets.
