Other bases will see significant pruning, I can see all European flights going apart from CDG and AMS (AF/KL/DL feed) - why would VS be interested in BHX-BOD or CWL-FCO (just two of many examples)
SOU, BHX and BHD might keep some domestic routes?
I can also see a number of bases closing.completely
Tough times ahead, good luck to all those who have worked so hard at BE for many years, as an ex-employee the people make the airline, best bunch I have ever worked with.
For bases like Cardiff it'll be a case of whether the jets stay or not in whether routes like Rome stay. Italy load factor wise does decently out of Cardiff so in general does Faro. I suppose it will be about what sort of deal the airport can come up with to keep the jets and those European routes. I don't think the base will be closed and i think there will be a lot less trimming then many people on here think or may even want to happen but only time will tell!
