Unfortunately this is a time for downsizing not expansion.
I agree fully that CWL has done a good job at not jumping into bed with the first airline knocking on the door. I see difficulty ahead for all three airlines that have done that at EXT, SOU, MME and BHD - Eastern, Loganair and Blue Islands. Some of those new routes have 0 pax on them or in the case of MME 3 or 4 at best. Come on people - this is not how you run an airline!
I don't think anyone is expecting them to ditch BRS but it would be good to get Jersey back especially as it's a long standing route.
As for CWL doing a good job of not jumping into bed with the first airline to come along praise, you're assuming that there is an airline there to jump into bed with in the first place?
