I know this sounds daft from a Loco carrier but i heard that Lanzarote is being talked about by BmiBaby. I hope this is not correct as i can't see it working.

It has been going around for a while how we nearly had an extra a/c here and there. etc. The truth is that Flybe was expanding at BHX and BmiBaby wanted to fight back, and this is where the 4th a/c went too.

Considering there is no extra a/c due except for those to replace the 735 then unless an aquisition is made by the Bmi group then i can't see any significant growth by them soon. As far as i'm concerned i won't believe a word about an extra a/c until it's set in stone.

On the other hand an extra route to their network is something positive at least.

Looks like interesting times ahead for Cardiff with Flybe looking to expand similary to it's Southampton base and be Cardiff's biggest carrier within 3 years.

Maybe next year we can see a based a/c or two.
