Sad to see BRS go as I used the service several times, FR may well be watching the MAN situation with LBA. But the figures will prove there is demand with the right equipment.

The airport was open 25 years last week, busiest month in April and expecting their busiest year to date. Touting 40% share of UK market from the West. Good to hear the main focus is on securing inbound European routes according to the management.

But any route loss makes an impact on a small airports figures and hopes of a based aircraft seem slim in the short-term unless FR engage with the Governments tourism incentive plan next Summer.
