Why would BE want to go into BRS with the likes of Ryanair and EasyJet there? They obviously have choosen CWL to operate their flights as it is much easier to compete against Eastern & Baby at CWL. Flybe haven't a single aircraft based at CWL and all routes are operated on a W pattern via CWL or from other bases.
CWL
JER (Bmibaby)
GLA (Bmibaby)
BHD (Bmibaby operate into BFS)
NCL (Eastern Airways)
CDG (No Competition)
ABZ - loganair (No Competition)
EDI - (Bmibaby)
How much competition would they have on same routes our of BRS and who would their competitors be?
When the economy picks up or if the BD/LH situation results in no more Bmibaby then Flybe will be in the excellent position of having being in CWL for a number of years with an established brand. There is also room for expansion at CWL with more flights from other bases along with based aircraft at CWL.
Why Flybe only operate a JER to/from BRS maybe some kind of charter or is it a year round route?
