Would be excellent if they did, and to offer an AF codeshare. Reckon BE expansion will be steady and planned. See how MAN does, and this other rumoured route. Then maybe a few new destinations as they become more established.
I'm shocked BE hasn't tried Europe direct from BHD, CDG is via EXT and Rennes was summer only. Brussels, Germany, Scandinavia. Thinner routes that wouldn't suit EI or EZY, but perfect for a Dash, and codeshares!! Wonder will LDY get BE European scheduled before Belfast??? If it does I'd say it would be a couple of years off...
