I’m still thinking there maybe more from Eastern at CWL to come, 3 key destinations remain unserved (DUB, EDI & CDG) & Eastern still advertising for CWL based crew. Eastern have the larger AT7, E70 and E90 joining the fleet so who knows here maybe CWL are in discussion with them to step into Flybe’s shoes with some routes.......time will tell but hope I’m right as there be no competition for Eastern at CWL which would be good for them too.
Don’t get your hopes up as even SOU with its new Eastern hub doesn’t have DUB (starting Jan 21 although been put back several times already) and CDG is not on the horizon what with cases in France rising once again. BFD has been chosen as it’s making use of an under utilised J41 and is also the best serving route on the network, albeit from a very low starting point!
