BRS was due to have 18 based easyJet aircraft this summer: 10 x A320, 6 x A319, 2 x A321 with nearly 80 easyJet routes albeit some seasonal. The pandemic quickly put paid to that though.
The obvious potential danger to BRS is the over-reliance on easyJet which carried over 50% of its 9 million annual passengers pre-COVID. Today 29 of BRS's 48 airline departures were easyJet (48 is about 45% of the airport's normal programme this time of the year) which is broadly in line with August as a whole.
