Nuweiba, once again I have to agree with you - some new routes have resulted from “Open Skies” - I should have specified “viable new routes”. However, I do not think that most of the routes that you quoted are particularly “viable”. At the best, they are summer only routes & operate maybe once or twice a week. The main exception was Heathrow, but that was only a “bookkeeping exercise” by BEE. I suppose that AUR could try & take it up - but that requires the slots. Whether, or not, they could make it work only time would tell. However, there is definitely the demand for this route to justify it being tried. As for the other routes, the opportunity for AUR to operate some of them is there but, they are not money spinners. Can AUR turn them into money makers ? And do they have the aircraft available to operate them ? Time will tell.
