It was announced in the local press recently that the work for the fifth BACx ERJ145 to be based from next March will be revealed by the end of the year.

The airport MD has been giving some obvious 'clues' in recent public statements that new routes are on the cards, without saying or even hinting what they may be.

Domestically, Norwich and Liverpool must be strong possibilities and in another thread (and indeed earlier in this one) it is being suggested that Flybe might be the carrier, at least for Liverpool. Who knows, they might do EXT-BRS-LPL in the same way that Southwest does PLH-BRS-MAN.

Internationally, from a personal point of view I would like to think that someone would take on the CPH route, soon to be dropped by easyJet. Milan has long been talked of as a possible BACx route and perhaps this is something the new based aircraft might take on.

There have also been rumours about increased frequencies on one or two of the existing routes out of BRS.
