I said earlier that I thought there might be a market for EXT-NCL. However, acting as devil's advocate for a minute, if people will want to fly into the far south west, why are they not doing so in greater numbers at present to PLH via CWL?

Plymouth is a larger city than Exeter and nearer to Cornwall. And would there be a leisure market into the southwest in the winter?

I would think a daily AMS and Paris (but which airport?) would work from EXT. Not sure about MAN. Brymon/BACx could not get it to work from BRS (probably due to awful timings - one lunchtime rotation per day) but Air Southwest appears to be making a real go of it, starting the route at PLH. However, would there be a market from both PLH and EXT?

Thanks for that. I guessed there was bit of south west Britain airline co-operation going on.

BTW, I like the Dragon livery. Your a/c was parked just behind a Aer Arann ATR 42 and looked far more stylish.
