if easyjet or jet2.com are not going to take up the routes lost by the bmibaby move, why doesn't the airport try to entice ryanair to launch these routes plus they could also give us flights to prestwick, and at a long shot possibly doncaster or humberside, at the end of the day if a deal is made they dont have to be a threat to easy or jet2. or is there something in the pipe work we do not know about, although i see this very unlikely as surely it shouldnt take this long to announce
also i was just wondering for anyone that knows, why didnt the bmi group move their operations to aldergrove? the airport has no restrictions at the intl, possibly allowing for a later arrival or more flights to heathrow, and also has a fellow star alliance member operating from the airport (CO).
in my opinion baby could have launched their european routes from the intl, as they still have the same amount of competition on them (even more as jet2 have also launched faro), i dont feel the airport change will give them any help as what are they going to do if a flight is delayed? cancel it or just divert the flight back to were they used to be.
