It is all very well to compare the number and frequency of flights to different destinations from FLAP (Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris) but we should also bear in mind that there are flights to many destinations from other UK airports as well.
Business people based in the Midlands, Wales, Scotland or the North of England do not necessarily want to fly to important markets such as Brazil, Russia, India or China through London. In many cases, they will prefer to fly from their regional airports to Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris or elsewher and then fly onwards to their ultimate destinations.
Madrid is an important hub for flights to Central and Latin America and Lisbon is an important hub for frequent flights to Brazil, Angola, Mozambique and the other Portuguese speaking countries.
Canny business people also know that by buying one ticket to a short-haul European destination such as Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid or Lisbon and a separate ticket to their ultimate long-haul destination, substantial savings can be made on ticket prices by avoiding UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) on the major part of the cost. The APD on a business class flight of over 6,000 miles is £184. In addition it is sometimes cheaper to fly via another airport outside the UK rather than direct from London.
