BMI Baby seem to be holding up well to the competition from Aer Lingus on Cork-Birmingham. Hopefully the cycle of a new operator driving the existing operator off the route has ended. First Aer Arann drove Flybe off the route, then Baby drove Aer Arann off the route, before Aer Lingus entered the fray trying to drive Baby off the route. They haven't succeeded so far. However how will the travelling public take to the new Summer timetables which has much later Birmingham and Manchester flights. The Cork-Birmingham leg doesn't get in until almost eleven at night. That won't be popular with those from the West Midlands area who may have to drive home from BHX.
