not really. both Airports are like 15 miles apart.

why is that? its the same reason they closed LCY. you operate 2 airports at plus minus 2% capacity. its a huge money loss.

SXF has a capacity of 12 Million pax p.a. and in October BER will open. i dont see a huge mess there... you wont get 30.000 pax daily till november. thats like 300 flights...
