BHX-EDI gone?

The long-rumoured demise of BHX-EDI seems to have happened as the
last day it is bookable is Friday 26 March 2010.

No sign of BMIR taking it over unless it has not been co-ordinated

If BMIR are not going to operate the route then 17 days notice is pretty poor for something that has been rumoured for a while and even baby themselves confirmed they will only have 14 aircraft yet until today 15 were scheduled.

With such a late cancellation I assume they will be hoping that the pax would transfer to EMA rather than re-book with flybe?

flybe had already increased BHX-EDI for summer 2010 with 8 weekday flights except for Thursday with 9.

The decision to cancel the route cannot be questioned as pax have fell away dramatically although nowhere near as bad as EMA-BFS. From the giddy heights of four/five a day (very briefly) to nil but those were in the
days when flybe had just taken BA Connect and were all over the place.
