No they won't - the agreement between bmi and DTVA that only they can operate jet equipment into London would still stand. Although following Northern Hero's comments I now think it will remain in the hands of mainline.
Before the announcement that bmibaby were pulling out, it was mentioned that the airport was getting, "either a new operator or an old one returning" and Northern Hero hinted at this again in the post I referred to above, plus, Hugh Lang himself told ITV's North East news that there were more route announcements up the airports sleeve - so come on guys, bit more effort - who's gonna be flying where?
