Helsinki, Warsaw, Kiev and Tel Aviv are other routes I'd like to think could come online
To be honest, I remember JF announcing the big Q400 order, and then adding in the E195s, and each time I remember thinking 'small, low cost aircraft -they must be able to open up loads of thin routes which other airlines wouldn't touch.'
What have we got?
Surely, on paper at least, ATH, TRN, BSL, ARN, OSL, HEL, WAW, MAD, BER must all look like good candidates for a daily rotation using the E195?
So are BE just being too conservative, or are mgmt happy to let these all leak to MAN & LHR, safe in the 'knowledge' that the big fancy new runway extension is going to bring in so many more users to BHX?
