Just how exactly does a hub airport help UK plc when

most of the
passengers will be passing through on to elsewhere and will

probably
just spend a few quid in duty free?


It helps because they don't just buy a few duty-frees, they buy a whole
onward flight, with all the infrastructure and staffing which that
implies.
