I wonder what real impact Ryanair will have on flybe in Belfast?
I anticipate very little. All routes are once daily and there are none in direct competition. BHDLPL is operated by Flybe but is only on Saturdays. FR will be going for the low yield traffic anyway and so I wouldn't think it would be a huge problem for Flybe.
It would be foolish to underestimate the power of frequency and with 9/10 a day on BHDMAN, 7 a day on BHDBHX and 4 a day on BHDGLA, this will ensure Flybe maintain their presence on these routes.
