A new route from MAN (?), a replacement for the Basle maybe, which is reverting to a Swiss RJ. Possibly a VIE in co-op with Austrian, ? anyone know?
Just to clarify... The A319 that operated LHR-BSL-MAN-BSL-LHR will instead now operate LHR-BSL-BCN-BSL-LHR, with the BSL-BCN-BSL operated as effectively a wet-lease for Swiss using only an LX flight number (not BD.) The RJ100 released from this route operates the BSL-MAN-BSL. It's effectively a direct swap of aircraft, with Swiss presumably wanting more capacity on BSL-BCN to compete with EZY/EZS.
So it's unlikely BMI will be operating a new route from MAN as a direct replacement for the BSL route, as the aircraft won't be there to do it - it will be operating BSL-BCN. Unless they bring one in from elsewhere on another schedule.
