I have came up with a few. Some could be covered by airlines at BFS

ABZ -Loganair
INV - Loganair
EDI - Loganair
GLA - Loganair
LCY - BA Cityflyer
BHX - EZY/FR BFS
LBA - FR BFS
EMA - FR BFS
MAN - EZY/FR BFS
CWL - FR BFS
EXT - ???
SOU - EZY BFS
NQY - ???
DSA - ???

Any opinions?
Maybe Aer lingus regional may appear ?
From personal observations, I would be surprised if anyone took on the LBA route. I’ve used BE to Leeds a lot recently (from late summer) and there are days when they can’t even fill a 76 seat Dash 8 at peak business times, let alone a 189 seat 737. EZY might even struggle to justify 156 seats on an A319.

BCA must be quite worried at the monent because a lot of those BE routes will either move up the road with aforementioned carriers or go unserved if BE went under.
