I believe I am right in saying that a northern taxiway would need to join Rwy20 from the east (there is not enough space the other/terminal side, as things currently stand), so it would still involve...

Is this a movement (or partial movement) of the route from BOH, or complementary to it?

Will be a wakeup for BEE that EZY start moving in on their turf at SOU.

This suggests to me that they will operate ALC on the Dash, and that AGP and FAO won't be operated as there won't be any 195's to do so?

No doubt, as a major Bombardier customer, they will be pushing the CS100 to Flybe.

Can't see it though, as expensive jets almost contributed to their demise a few years back.

Indeed so, but aren't they committed to provide these subsidised ops for a period that extends beyond the end of 2017?

This is down to the way "MLAT" works (inaccurately) in FR24.

An operator to FRA instead of multiple operators to MUC would have made more sense than this petty competitiveness (unless BEE did get the funding for MUC and that hasn't been announced yet).
