Bmi and Subsidy
Aeroskid, I agree with most of what you say re: a subsidy to bmi from Jersey, and the whole issue of Flybe complaining. It will be interesting to look back in say six months and see how the overall passenger numbers have changed. Ie will the market grow, or will it simply be a transfer of numbers from one route to another.
It was most unfair that JER lost the LHR route before and I remember the whole debate at the time and the fears that the Jersey business community had. AS was the case in the IOM. I hope that the business grows .
Flybe have been slow to grow their JER business and the island has been quite dependant on them for new business, I would have expected BE to be taking iniatives on the Island for growth as it or certainly was a very important airport for them as its name use to reflect. JEA.
