So it was ten years ago when Gill Airways came out of administration and things were looking good for the airline with links to aberdeen, belfast city, dublin and london stansted as well as the paris cdg flight with Air France.
I wonder what the state of play would have been at Newcastle if Gill had survived:
Would the low cost carriers have forced them out?
Would the low cost carriers have even come to Newcastle if Gill were still here as Go only came once Gill had abandoned the Stansted route?
Would Gill be flying 737s as they dreamed and become a Jet2 affair?
Would the they have swallowed up by the likes of flybe?
Would Newcastle be a better position or not?
