Now if they would only do the same with one of their Vienna services from LHR
I think there is scope for a VIE. Doesnt even have to be a LHR 'W' pattern either.
There is now a based A320 of BD at MAN doing FRA for LH, but one of the morning rotations is still conducted by LH, so surely BD could squeeze in a VIE there.
Lauda always did well ex-MAN, and BTS always did well from MAN for NE and V5 (V5 only suspended ops as they decided not to operate a jet fleet). Most pax to BTS went on to VIE with buses/taxis, so surely a daily VIE could work.
