I don't quite see how anyone can claim BHD have done the dirty on bE. Surely its only like any airport allowing a competitor in. The fact that BE have such a monopoly there is a reflection on the lack of competition, the last thing BHD needs is one operator. Its the fastest way to stagnate a business and stifle growth. Ultimately also if BE were to move their operations to BFS it would put them in direct competition with EZY, and that would surely be a precarious position. It wouldn't be the first time BE have been one of 3 operators on a route, BHX-BFS/BHD being one example.
