Who will take over Baby routes
I think that the Peel factor will lead to a Ryanair base at Teeside.
I reckon they will do the spanish routes( nearest equivilent) at least. Would not be surprised if talks are on the agenda re this already. So in the longer term this may be a good thing, ie a more commited airline coming to the airport.
The opportunity is there for someone and I would expect a new operator in place by the time Baby pulls out.
Dont think the routes to Cork, Gatwick or Paris will be taken over in the short to medium term.
