Sorry I dont mean you personally mate,
I mean EXT airports management have done really well to land a contract with what is going to be (come October) the largest charter airline in the whole of europe, especially when the 3rd busiest UK base for FCA is just 70 miles up the road!
The users of EXT should be greatful(and i'm sure they will) to have more routes and more choice using a UK carrier as it could quite easily of gone to BRS.
EXT with its close tie in with BE makes it hard for another airline to come in and base(as has been said numeous times on this thread before), so fair play to FCA for giving it a go, and fair play to the management of EXT for persuading them so well.
Lets not forget FCA have pulled out of CWL and LTN to base in EXT!
I'm pretty sure that you'll still see lots of other movements, I doubt very much that the likes of the new TC/MYT will be wanting to use FCA.
I'm sure EXT will prove a great success year round for FCA.
