- Leeds Bradford reduced to 11x weekly J41.
- Belfast City, Dublin and Newcastle all 12 weekly with a morning and evening flight on weekdays and one flight Sat/Sun.
- Manchester 17 weekly, as above but 3 daily on weekdays.
- Will be interesting to see how Eastern fills the gaps in the schedules, as surely the relatively expensive new ATR's will need some decent utilisation to pay their way?
Good to see some more promising news though. 👍
Maybe the ATR's of BI/Eastern will pick up a few French regionals ie Bergerac, to help support utilisation. Can't see them taking on AMS or CDG and Loganair have already stated their intension to only support the northern routes!
