Devon Guy- right on both counts. Exeter is currently dependent on Flybe-but, equally, BE has a huge investment in their engineering facilities and Head Office, so an exit is highly unlikely. BE's threat may well be not to open any more services-if so, the Airport can only counter that by bringing in new, serious, competition and that will turn into a very robust discussion. Interesting times.
