The antagonists over at STA have finally gotten their hands on the original 2003 sale agreement, I haven't read their full post but the jist seems to be that it doesn't teach them anything they didn't already know and true to their style they're exaggerating the negativity of it

There isn't one, and once again it should be stressed that any barren spell is not down to the actions of Peel.
Looks like today might be the start of housing...diggers moved in and even the bomb squad are on site "just checking".

Pie in the sky but worth a post. Easyjet want a Heathrow base with us as a destination...

Assuming a double daily MME-LHR with a based A319, is it really realistic for Easyjet to sell 300 seats a day each way on this route?

The A319s are not going completely, some were bought by Allegiant Air and then leased back a few years ago until now. Yes there is multiple leaving but they are not on the way "out" as per say. It's more just fleet optimisation.

As long as the fares were on a par with the train fare to Heathrow, then why not. More passengers are using Heathrow as a hub for connecting flights, not just business but leisure as well.

Bare in mind the destinations suggested from LHR are theoretical, and the vast majority of them unrealistic. Why choose MME when you have a base in NCL, why PIK over GLA, who the hell would fly CWL-LHR for example??

Actually hypothetically if slots were plentiful you could see the likes of BRS/CWL/NWI to LHR. Very short routes exist at other hub airports for feed eg BRU-AMS, NAP/PIS-FCO, DUS-FRA. Even more so in the USA.

Out of curiosity but seeing how easyJet don't pay any fees at Southend and they are about to have Ryanair as competition next year, it begs the question why for now they are not offering all these airports a service to Southend .
After all doesn't the new Crossrail link to Liverpool Street or close enough., Public transport in the capital by year's end is going to be pretty good.
It would prove if nothing else demand for London services , ok it's not direct but Crossrail had the Heathrow link, if they could work with the TFL or whomever operates Crossrail then perhaps some kind of through the ticketing as far as Heathrow.
Trouble is EZY are not linked unlike Flybe to the bigger carriers , so the onus is on the passenger to grab bags and hot foot it to wherever the connection is .
Time had come for them to join the club and be a star alliance member .

Now this would be interesting, and may even offer up some kind of competition to BA at LBA/NCL. easyJet could certainly make it work, as their fares are generally pretty good and thus would attract a wider audience.

Thr truth is that a MME-LHR link will be the making of the airport.

Stop me if you’ve heard it somewhere else..
Really interesting update on the Prestwick thread re their future.
Its so sad to see a once great airport on its knees and with huge debt.Surrounded by sea on one side and two pretty successful airports to the north/east.
only half a million passengers per year..falling cargo flights and movements.
The possibility of it all being sold for housing developments..in a nutshell unloved and unwanted by the vast majority..
Pinning hopes on a service to London 15 years ahead..
Local pEople who care trying their best but probably treading water....
All sounds very familiar?
