ACL Slots W20
Thought I'd summarise the relevant ACL slot requests that concern SOU for W20. Am aware some people have previously found some of these, but it looks as if Blue Islands are planning on having a base of sorts at SOU and have pointed themselves squarely at Eastern. I would have thought them focusing on EXT first where there is no competition would perhaps be a less risky endeavour for an airline that currently only has 5 aircraft but I guess we will have to see how it all plays out... Still quiet on the international route front but I am less surprised than many by this as most airlines primary focus at the moment is likely to get their core routes up and running and hopefully making some money again before looking into starting or resuming other routes.
MAN:
- Eastern have slots for a 4 daily (23 weekly) SOU-MAN service on an AT7.
- Blue Islands have slots for a 3 daily (21 weekly) SOU-MAN service on an AT7
DUB:
- Eastern have 13 weekly new slots. Commentary mentions a year round SOU service. If MME continues 6 weekly over the winter that suggests that SOU will be 7 weekly.
- Blue Islands also have 14 weekly slots for SOU-DUB.
