have to agree with your comments. I too get annoyed with all the duplication of carriers on routes and if Bhd get their extension, we will get more of the same with Fr.

You mention Greece, what about Turkey? Dalaman supports about 5/6 flights a week during most of the summer months and Bodrum 4/5 a week. We travel several times in the summer to Bodrum and some of those flight are via mainland and many others do the same. Would the airport and airlines not be better trying something like that? I'm sure they could get as good loads on say 2 weekly as they do to Bcn. What about Bulgaria, lots of people go there to ski and a great many go via the mainland. 12 of us did that last year and we are doing the same again next month, using Lgw. Now could one of the airlines not try that for the ski season instead of fighting for few pax to bcn? Even once a week.
