Just us well the franchise is ending - the cost of operation of the franchise has been huge and has run at a substantial financial loss. I have applauded Stobart for their commitment to the franchise as it has brought in FR and their 3 aircraft however I am surprised at the level of losses involved in running the BE routes. Let's hope having FR at the airport is a profitable proposition.
