SOUTHAMPTON

[RooCat]

it looks like flybe will again take advantage of an available market but potentially abuse it. Flybe carried around 30,000 on the FRA route last year and it was not even in the top 10 routes out of SOU. I know they tried and abandoned but could AB comeback and possibly try Cologne or Paderborn again.I know for a fact that the local Ford plant deals regularly with the Cologne region, where many execs fly either into Heathrow or even catch the train.
As for Aer Arann Canberra97, I am in agreement. Cork was always a particularly convenient route with the local expats. I also think that Shannon could work well. As for Dublin, flybe have had issues regarding aircraft into it but I am shocked as to why Aer Lingus have not tried Southampton,yet Durham, Doncaster and Blackpool seemed to have double dailys (albeit they now seemed to have stopped!)
Again, a double daily atr 72 could work quite nicely if aer lingus regional take the brunt.Its too much of a risk for aer arann to try stand-alone
