He said there was the possibility that a new airline could be flying from Robin Hood, although no announcement was expected until "the back end of the year or the summer of 2012".
Thats a looong time to be looking forward to a flight. If its announced in summer 2012, that means it will be winter 2012 at the earliest for the actual start date!?!?
Im guessing a its a holiday companies flights, as they are usually the ones who like to get the flights open early for the actual holiday booking. For example, Virgin announced MAN-BGI was going 2 weekly for winter 2011 in winter 2010. Thats a fair amount of advanced info for an extra frequency!
