Good news with ORK, is that replacing an existing route or is it being squeezed somewhere into the schedule?

Considering the handling situation, you've got to remember that at the end of every season when there's contracts up in the air, there are always lots of rumours about who is gaining or losing what. I personally don't see a third handling agent coming in simply because the airport doesn't really have the room for more offices or GSE, and I seriously wonder whether Ryanair alone, 6 aircraft or not, is enough of a reason for a handling agent to set up a new base. On the other hand when I was at BHX, Swissport seem to have taken over in a very short space of time, having only handled Air 2000 and Monarch a few years ago to now being the major handling agent.
