following through on their promise to produce at least one million extra

passengers.

We look forward to further announcements from other airports and

airlines around the country and further routes that will be sustainable

country is good for our members as that money circulates in the economy

and everyone benefits, particularly employment, and the additional

routes will contribute to this.”
