I would think twice weekly flights to one or two holiday destinations would work, why not? I'm under the impression that a lanzarote flight operated through the winter at some point (not sure how it worked out).

The Gatwick service is in its fourth month and it will take time for the route/airline to establish themselves on the route (EI are only new to LGW too).No doubt yield has taken a hit but it is early days and the route is maturing. Would think a BA codeshare would probably improve the routes prospects.

Of course a connection to a major hub such as AMS would most definitely be welcome to the region as there is no such service. I guess with cat II up and running its opening the doors to new airlines like EI and maybe some new faces and destinations.

But again we are in a recession; let’s not get ahead of ourselves
