NC. You may be right, and let's hope so. However, I don't think the promise of a detour on your way to Paris will make the MAN route any more or less successful.
A grand total of 272 availed of BHD-EXT-CDG in February. I'd be surprised if half that (if it's even counted as a route by the CAA) will travel on LDY-MAN-CDG.
Maybe my pessimism stems from the fact I want actual, tangible and realistic routes at LDY.
