"Only" 14 ?

That figure seems wildly optimistic compared to other forecasts for domestic connectivity, including the Airport Commission's - where did you get it from ?

I would struggle to name 14 UK airports that have ever had links to LHR, even in the days when slots were 10 a penny, or could support services in the future with or without the proposed "ring-fencing".
