Other than the leases on the airframes the rest of TCX and Condor have little value to any non EU operator. They would loose the right to serve the US and much of the EU traffic. In reality of things...

That would make sense since everything beyond T2X and Piers 2 & 3 is just in the proposed stage. However, if T1 is demolished the multi-storey will have to come down too.

Wonder why they would do that? Given the EZY and BE routing on the MAN-Belfast sector 2x weekly would be just about useless, I can't imagine that would be the best use of that aircraft.
