With the announcement of Easyjet's arrival into the regional areas of Ireland, it does seem that bmibaby had their chance to expand from LGW and missed it. Cork is doing very well and probably could have gone twice daily and Knock-LGW was apparently in the pipeline but for some reason or another they decided against it. It is a shame as i think baby really could have made a go of operating niche routes from LGW but with the demise of the LGW-PRG route at the end of October, is it really worth baby flying out of LGW at all??
I think it would be very unlikely that bmi mainline would take over the WW ORK-LGW service but to operate from LHR would make logical sense.
