Still can't get my head around the excitement generated by this announcement?

The average monthly departing passenger total is around the 750 mark.

Rough maths say 20 working days per month..
Forget about the weekend schedules.

7 flights per day to Aberdeen gives a grand total of 5.3 joining passengers per flight...
Add in 8 possible weekend departures 2 each brings that total down to 5.06 passengers per flight.

Ok that's basic and there will be better(and worse) months,but my question is..which airline will pack in first and what happens if it's Eastern and Loganair are left.You would figure as with most airport start up airlines they are being charged peanuts,if anything for at least the first year.Eastern go and airport revenue becomes nil from what's left?
Where does that leave the airports revenue stream?
Interesting times..
