The nextgenerationairline website certainly indicates that Bristol is going to be cutback with just two based 145's.
For Bristol at least they have an aggressive competitor in Easy who I am
sure will pick up most routes (as well as Bacon crews
).
Flybe could also have trouble at BHX, both CAA stats and anecdotal evidence suggest they are getting a beating pax wise (by baby)
non more than the December 2006 provisional figures for the Belfast routes.
Flybe down nearly 5000 and Baby up 4000 - fog did pay some part
with Baby operating virtually all their flights and flybe only a handful
during one three-day period.
The unknown aspect is the yield, I just hope flybe is making
sufficient money on their flights at BHX and it does appear that
they do charge more than Baby.
Interesting battles ahead.
