Yes, Derek Coates permitting, BCI will continue to "go it alone". Indeed, BEE's demise opens up opportunities for them to expand. Heaven knows they need some more profitable routes! But, such expansion carries risks & must be handled effectively. They are already operating to Exeter & Birmingham - although this might only be short term. There is the announcement that they will, apparently, be operating these two routes in competition with AUR - although, AUR will only be operating them from Guernsey - which will certainly threaten the viability for both airlines. Maybe this is just part of the general confusion in the aftermath of BEE's failure & both airlines will be a little more realistic in the coming days. Certainly, there is no room for competition on most of BEE's old routes.
