DURHAM AIRPORT - 2
Here is a bit of insider info from DTV, the source is very reliable but wishes to remain anonymous.
Good news: 75% chance of third based bmibaby aircraft for Summer 07, perhaps even sooner if winter pax figures do well.
Bad news: Some staff at DTVA are beginning to fear that bmi could be about to completely chop the London Heathrow route, this is for two reasons: firstly, a third based bmibaby aircraft could see LGW going 2x daily and secondly, a mixture of bmi's new business model and continuous fiddling around with times and aircraft types has seen pax numbers drop.
One advantage of no more LHR would see DTVAs agreement with bmi that only they can fly jet equipment into London dropped, meaning LCY, LTN and STN all possibilities for the near future, but even so, I would still rather keep the LHR route.
