The days of kowtowing to Flybe are well and truly over.
BOH will most likely lose most if not all of its LCC 'status' after this but to be honest it is important for the region to have at least one airport that excels. We don't need two that are not going anywhere.
Nice dream, why stop there though? Surely after the extension they could entice BA away from Heathrow?
