On 15 August 2003 Flybe announced the expansion of their programme from Bristol to include Toulouse (commenced autumn 2003), Bordeaux and Bergerac (both commenced 2004). In the same statement they announced a route from BRS to Murcia to commence also in 2004.
The Murcia route never materialised. I remember asking on PPRuNe last year if anyone knew the reason and received various answers, from poor load projections to slot difficulties. I believe that they may have planned to fly from EXT as well but that never happened either.
Incidentally, at the time of Flybe's BRS expansion announcement in August 2003, the Bristol Evening Post carried a story saying that by 2005 Flybe would have about fifteen routes from BRS.
Hmm. Either journalistic guesswork or a marked change of plan by the airline, unless of course they surprise us later this year.
