Frankfurt_Cowboy,

I have not heard that rumour around here.

As I am sure you know, the route has been tried in the past but, for various reasons, it did not last.

A decade or more ago Brown Air/Capital Air tried it, then more recently BACx found themselves with some J 41s available and operated LBA-BRS twice a day until they pulled out of LBA altogether. I don't know how the route did in the short time BACx operated it, but it was never really given a chance IMO.

I am sure there is a market (after all NCL-BRS runs to three easyJet 737s each day) but as always price, good scheduling and sensible marketing will be the key.

Air Southwest is starting PLH-BRS-MAN this spring. In theory there should be a market for that route. If it goes well they might be encouraged to try BRS-LBA if no-one else steps in first.
