With Eastern taking on further E170 & E195 aircraft they could easily fill some of the old BE jet routes......
Just a thought or dream.....
It would be great to see the E195s back at Cardiff from an enthusiasts point of view and for the ex Flybe European routes to return and hopefully they will in the future but it's more probable now that the airport will look towards airlines like Ryanair, Jet2, TUI, Alitalia and Lufthansa to reintroduce those routes in the future. They may well not be successful but I think the Flybe jet operation served it's purpose in helping to get the airport back on its feet. In a way that is what Teesside is doing with Eastern.
