If an E195 was moved to Cork, you’d think it’s biggest use to Stobart would be on MAN followed by BHX. It could create extra capacity and shorter sector times on a couple of business friendly routes where yield might help offset the operating costs. It’s hard to think of which new European routes would suit. AMS or CDG at higher frequency in an E195 would work, but can’t see Aer Lingus going for they are profitable in house and would mean feeding a ln IAG competitor hub.

You’d think BGY shouldn’t be in too much trouble considering the loads and what the yields appear to be (guessing from the fares charged). It is, of course, a significant base with plenty of scope to operate a rotation. However, route supports have run out, so that does reduce profits.
