Maybe MAN based as there was a press release a few months ago where Julian Carr stated they were going to try niche city routes from MAN and move away from the bucket and spade brigade.
I know from MAN they said they were going to focus on niche routes that are underserved in the region. However as they have re-launched PMI from MAN this winter it looks as though bookings have been positive and so they have made it a year round route. I didn't understand why they dropped such a route in the first place, despite alot of competition on the route during the summer months, it's probably always going to be a route that performs well for all airlines in the UK.

I guess they are going to be very careful and looking at bringing routes back that they know are popular and can make money. I wouldn't be surprised if FAO makes a comeback on the MAN schedule.
