EZY flying from there base at Nice to SOU would be excellent as would a similar operation from Palma and several of their other bases but to quote Nice as an alternative to Biarritz is a strange one considering that it's situated on the Atlantic coast of France on the Bay of Biscay and Nice being situated on the French Riviera a distance of 536 miles away from Biarritz so it's not really an ideal alternative although Toulon is only 93 miles from Nice.
The Euro to the Pound, less second home buyers, existing ex Pats selling up and returning home, the onset of leaving the EU, cheaper destinations elsewhere will all contribute to the decline of the majority of the French routes over the next few years.
looking forward Flybe need to refocus and offer more business/city destinations from the regions as well as maintaining there core domestic routes.
