BHX-JER/GCI

Seem a bit crazy for both of them to be going after this, which (especially in winter) must be a fairly small market.

On-island politics in play (and not in a good way) perhaps?
BHX was twice a day at least for most of the year in the week (Wednesday AM dropped this winter) and 3 daily Jersey in summer with a combined total of around 5000-9000 pax per month (55-65 a flight) so they will have to be careful but if each operate once daily to Jersey/Guernsey in summer they should be fine although winter is a different matter.
