If it is true that BD are going to look into SNN/LHR then there is a good chance that they may operate it. They will probably reduce their BHD/LHR frequency to six after EI come into BFS and a slot or 2 could be found elsewhere within their network. Also they have plenty of irish experience after operating successfully LHR/DUB for I'm sure 20 years. With that volume of traffic from SNN with no competition, BD could make a go of it. Also new blood into shannon, not under the continual rant from MOL would be a good thing.
