Do we really believe (despite BFS Watcher’s highest hopes to the contrary) that any airline planning on setting up at BHD and intent on flying from/to U.K. destinations won’t have considered whether they have the appropriate AOC?
Either they don’t have any intention of operating the routes listed on the EI website/Irish News story (thereby rendering irrelevant the AOC issue), or, and stay with me here, they do, have the necessary paperwork/permissions and will announce it all soon enough.
