An article in "The Irish News" that reported on the end of the BHD-LPL route a week ago mentioned this...
It comes amid fears that the carrier...is set to scale back on its regional hubs, cutting the number from 11 to possibly seven.
...adding that BHD would not be one of those four The reamining ten are:
- Aberdeen
- Birmingham
- Cardiff
- Doncaster
- Dusseldorf
- Edinburgh
- Exeter
- Glasgow
- Manchester
- Southampton
So not all of the 20 "bases" mentioned in the LinkedIn article are true bases and would be under consideration of closure - and not all 11 true bases are listed in the LinkedIn article (DSA is not). Bases with "poor" or "marginal" performance according to that article are BHX, GLA, EXT, EDI and BHD - none of which I could imagine to be closed. I suppose those under review will be DUS, CWL, DSA and one of the Scottish bases.
