My point was in repsonse to the (albeit drifted topic) "PIK effect" Until Ryanair decide to move up the road, Glasgow has to accept it is a two airport city and the effect that it has on PAX numbers at GLA. I have no problems with that but I think that Ryanair is preventing the likes of Air France and Lufthansa providing GLA with some decent routes namely CDG and FRA. I am not really in favour of Easyjet going to CDG as it curtails onward connections on through ticketing on the AF network. Crawford.

Paris as an O&D destination alone is a vital missing link in the GLA network. Gaz I don't think there's any chance AF are going to turn up anytime in the forseeable future, so if we want A CDG service then a loco, probably EZY, is the best chance we've got. Personally, I go to Paris reasonably frequently, so am more than happy with a point-to-point service. At the moment I avoid FR and tend to fly with BA from EDI, so an EZY service from GLA would certainly get my business! I think I read elsewhere that FR are cutting back their HHN service over the winter - maybe an opportunity for LH?

Yes, only Glasgow and London in UK can boast two or more airports. (OK, Belfast. But that's not strictly UK.)
