In the next 12months u will see more airlines use larger aircraft like 767 if they choose and why would a company buy a pushback tug to push one aircraft? The money made on a 767 turnround and pushback is loads and once those winter mayflys come out end sept/october we will see. The 767 based at CWL is hardly big and to shout about, its only got 2 seats more thn a 757. I have been speakin to FCA and BY engineers both said FCA will wait a year but BY could base a 767 at BRS or if not use it on a daily basis from other bases like the palma route. BY is doing quite well at BRS for a change, but will not base another A/C coz the airport will not reduce the land fees and parking fees to base 2 aircraft unlike EZY or FCA. BRS is way ahead of CWL even those they got a few more long haul routes like Zoom. Time will tell how sucessfully they will be and if they BFS than not very popular, which already cancelled flighs operated by BWIA and CO is not doing as well as BRS. How come BRS got the CO route and not CWL even tho they do more long haul routes? Any more know want airlines will be basing at BRS this winter? Like usual BY, TCX, FCA, XLA, KM etc?
