And what a responsible airline would have done is to position-out its aircraft and lease-in a charter to cover the Liverpool flights until 29 March. But as usual, we see that the 'contract' between an airline and its cutomers isn't worth the pixels on the screen. The airline can do what it likes and the passengers can pound sand.
Maybe govts could get their acts together and give airlines a proper regulatory framework to work ijn rather than indulging in games of checken with the economies of nations?

No one has yet to come up with an answer as to why Brexit stops Blue Air flights to and from Turin while Larnaca is unaffected.
I think they're hoping for a deal which will allow Turin to operate but have a plan to switch it to another route if it can't.

Going back to Blue Air and its Liverpool based aircraft. Would the same issue not also affect Ryanair with its UK based aircraft yet they are opening a new base at Southend.
That's why Ryanair UK has been set up
