It would be an amazing opportunity for local tourism, I would say they would need to perhaps implement smaller aircraft to test the market, ie Embraer jets or A319 sized aircraft & when the need arises upgrade to larger aircraft when the demand is there?
Are you serious, filling an A319 with 156 seats on domestic routes from BOU!
