"which is presumably where one of the two MME aircraft is going this winter"

I can answer that one and it is no. The Aberdeen has been fitted in by
cancelling the 2nd Knock on Monday & Friday which was due to run
until the Geneva starts in the third week of December.

A couple of other flights have been moved and there was already a
spare slot 16.30 - 23.00 which has now been filled. Fairly tight
winter programme for the two aircraft with 8 sectors.

It has been rumoured (only rumoured) BHX have been making offers to Baby partly due to the disastrous summer BHX has had. Most airports have suffered but BHX has been appalling 6% down or thereabouts the last three months.

As for Durham, I just hope (even as a BHX local) that someone like
Flybe jump in or Jet2 or any half decent airline!

BHX lost My Travellite and slowly each route has been taken on by
Monarch and of course it could happen again if the BACON shrinks
(or should that be when?) and hopefully Durham will get their routes
replaced.
