LBAs accounts by the way provide evidence that customers are far from being ripped off. They make a tiny amount of profit per passenger.
That's fair enough, clearly there are plenty of people who don't mind crawling through Kirkstall and Horsforth to get there. Personally, I don't have the patience for it.
I'm a travel agent btw, based in WF9. Plenty of our customers use LBA, but they don't like it. Many will choose MAN or EMA over LBA because of the ease of getting there.
If a Jet2 or a Monarch were to try flying out of DSA, I could fill their aircraft all day long.
Practically every customer's first question is "Can I fly from Donny"
