Government have rowed back on OPEX subsidy cut at GWY so I'd imagine there will be funding if needed at NOC. PSO loss mainly damages income from out of hours services, not sure how flexible FR will be if operating hours are reduced?
I used the DUB service last week, about 10 pax each way. All business or connecting passengers who will miss the service none the less.
Still hoping for better London schedule. Any chance of a Friday evening service, I see FR have added extra STN rotations from LDY?
