Any remedy slots left for this? Not convinced that all 14 are being used. Might have been a better idea than duplicating existing routes......What about a PSO arrangement?
There aren't any remedy slots because BD had ceased to operate the route before the sale to BA and for that matter there weren't any for GLA for the same reason. Remedy slots were there for EDI, ABZ and MAN but
AFAIK they were all used on EDI and ABZ.
In the new world FlyBe/Virgin Connect are introducing one rotation LHR-GCI in the late afternoon each day but that's all that has happened so far and it's using a VS slot that had been leased to Cobalt - timings are exactly what the Cobalt LCA service was using.
I doubt MME would qualify for a PSO and again
AFAIK they only relate to some of the Scottish Islands with nothing on the mainland and given the service from Darlington to KGX there would never be an argument.
