ALLMCC, before spouting off in future please get your facts right. The £48m loss was for the winter season, there were also one off costs involved in that sum.

Most airlines make a loss in the winter and a profit in the summer.

As for what has eJ done for NI, well they've opened a base which has created jobs, the jobs at Aviance rely to a certain extent on eJ presence, we bring loads of tourists from Holland and the rest of the UK and on the short EDI/GLA we are providing a much better service than the ferry!

When I started in aviation the EDI-BFS route was operated by a Shorts 360, ATP or Jetstream 41.
