So radio Ulster gave a news report this morning from BHD on the opening of the €15m upgrade to the facility.
When asked what about the challenges facing Flybe Ms. Best replied by saying that Flybe are the largest customer at the airport, and that it is among Flybe's most profitable bases. She said no matter what happens at Flybe, that there will always be a large market and demand between there and Britain on domestic services. One assumes she realises that there is a very short list of airlines remaining to fill this competitive space, in the event of Flybe not being around, all loco in the main. I was expecting to hear instead something like, 'we have a strong partnership with Flybe and we are confident that they can work through their current difficulties..and we look forward to growing the business with them'.
Feels to me like that at any cost they need to get a slice of the easyJet business in the market.
