Air UK had operated the BFS-LBA route for many years and it was very successful.Then along came Capitol who undercut fares so much that they bankrupted themselves and also took down the Air Uk service.After that, the saviour was Jy who hiked the fares so much that a full flex fare was up to £280.00 rtn.BTW,it still was untill Jet2 started the route again to BFS.
Also ,Capitol never ran F27s on the route,Air Uk did.Capitol ran Shorts SD360-300s equipped with 39 seats.I also believe Flymo Thompson was at the helm at the time,probably why they went under,he nearly did with Air Wales,apparently
