Morning all,
It's excellent news about Air Southwest. I really hope they are able to make a go of these routes and I believe they will succeed.
I gather BACX were beginning to get satisfactory loads on their Leeds to Bristol service just as it was chopped and the Newquay run will be good for the tourist trade. I hope there's enough room for the surfboards in the hold of the Dash 8.
If Flybe are thinking of gathering pace, this is even better, especially if they can undercut Eastern on the Southampton run. Last time I flew there and back from Leeds it cost me a small fortune. On that occasion the J41 was full up (Friday afternoon) but I don't know what machine Flybe would use. Maybe it would be something like Leeds-Southampton-Bergerac with a Q400.
The parking apron at Leeds is going to get seriously crowded at times next summer. Still better packed than deserted
