Someone in the know told me yesterday that all the BACon routes are to be filled, some by lo cost and some (German/Swiss routes) buy full service carriers. It will happen, the announcements will follow shortly. Panic ye not.
The loss of BACon, while sad, will not be felt too badly by the punters and the fact that Flybe are almost gone is a good thing. They have never been the same since Uncle Jack popped his clogs and the airline (laughably they call themselves Europe's largest regional airline, whatever that is supposed to imply) has never liked competition or even the threat of it. I remember them dropping routes from Belfast City if Easyjet announced there would be a similar route from Aldergrove, months before Easy started their routes up! Bristol certainly doesn't need an airline like that, the yellow bellied *******!
