Agreed. Summer season NQY could sustain a full 3 aircraft base
3xdaily MAN Q400
4xdaily LHR Q400
1x daily BHX Q400
with a mixture of EDI, GLA, LBA, DSA etc etc to fill the third frame.
Of course that couldn’t be sustained during winter. But during summer they could easily fill 3 based aircraft with very minimal expansion or need for new routes.
