As for the rest of their routes, NQY, was hardly a B737 route
May not be a 737 route in terms of distance for this a/c but in terms of PAX numbers if definately was. In the summer months this was a very big route for bmibaby, hence they started the route earlier than ever this year in February!
As for this route isnt it staying as im sure it is bmi regional and not baby on this?
No. bmibaby operate this route 2x weekly on their 737s. bmi regional could take this route up i guess though. bmi regional operate Lyon from Manchester, perhaps this is what you were thinking?
