Could the airport be set to confirm EIR operations or perhaps other airlines/routes?
As I have said elsewhere I would expect VFR traffic to be the first to recover and traffic between NI and GB to be at the front of that growth where road and rail aren't an option/competitive. BHD traditionally had a strong network to the rest of the UK, so I think it will be relatively better off than other airports. Still impacted between flyBe and COVID, of course, but possibly not as badly effected as airports with a high number of Sun flights - which will be decimated for summer 2020 compared to the planned capacity.
