Moving away from Belfast airports/ roads. I think this could all be good News for LDY, with new bases coming online including EMA and BRS Loganair could make something of LDY. yes many will say never going to happen but think about it logically.
GLA is already proving popular.
STN is funded and clear demand
MAN is a huge airport and already had 3 Belfast airlines operating to it and Loganair has plenty of codeshares unlike EZY and FR and if things go ahead with VS/BE you will no doubt see a reduction in frequency to MAN however it may be on slightly larger aircraft than the dash
EMA has up to 4 daily flight from BHD with strong load factors and I’m sure pull passengers in from the north
BRS again a very strong route for EZY with very good loads
EMA/BRS to become new bases which may be able to slot LDY into the schedule
or possible 2 based aircraft at LDY doing all the above routes
