BMI Baby
Titan Airways Post 160 was right. BMI Baby are fighting back against Aer Lingus by introducing a second daily flight from Cork to both Birmingham and Manchester on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That means we will have 3 flights per day to Manchester on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However the extra frequency is only from 17 April-22 May and before returning on the 18th of September and continuing until the end of the timetable period. How will Aerlingus compete with 9 times weekly flights to both Birmingham and Manchester when they only offer four and three flights weekly. Would it not make more sense to offer daily flights to one city and scrap the other? For example the MWFS flights to Birmingham could go to Manchester instead leaving the TTS flights to be operated on a W pattern by a Dublin aircraft. Or else the Dublin aircraft could operate a W pattern to Birmingham instead of Manchester tying in with the other 4 flights of the Cork based plane. Surely it would make more financial sense for Aer Lingus?? What do others think?
