Capital's parent collapsed, and the whole thing collapsed I think Capital were doing quite well and didn't have that many routes. Maybe 6. There is a lot of competition, but the current challenges are down to crew shortages. Strike action is likely to arise soon.
On a commercials basis, if FR want to fight for share with £15 one way fares at scale, then there will be pain felt for all competitors. Ryanair seem adamant to make BFS work this time and you can be sure Emerald will be a target.
