bmi regional Manchester-Glasgow
I seam to have missed something about this route, only last year it was been operated several times a day by both bmi and flybe. What has forced bmi to slim it down to one flight a day and then to abandon it from later this month. After all bmi and flybe still compete with several flights each a day on the Manchester to Edinburgh route which is a similar distance and which has seemed to grown at a similar rate, at least in terms of flight frequency over the past 20 years.
If it is something do with the current economic climate or competition from flybe then why is the Manchester to Edinburgh not been cut back in a similar fashion.
It is not as if ground transport has suddenly improved between Manchester and Glasgow it still takes nearly four hours on a supposedly express service operated by transpennine express.
