Maybe Ryanair are working through the alphabet of UK airports for the new base launch strategy? Currently all the 'B's!

Interesting situation from BE though. The amount of daily flights will probably soon warrant a base at NCL. I also think BE may have been a better match for the LGW route with a BA codeshare perhaps to encourage connecting pax? I am still surprised they went for once daily on NCL - CWL as I believe the route can easily support a two daily. I know when I visit offices in Cardiff my employer makes everyone fly to BRS with EZY and then hire a car to drive over because they want pay T3's prices. I'm normally not the only person on the EZY flight in that situation either!

With ABZ though, providing the timings are good they will be going for T3's bread and butter routes so we'll have to watch what happens there.

It is getting quiet on the new route front though so I don't know where this will leave us for the rest of the year.
