I think we will see EI Regional at NQY fairly soon. The NQY-DUB & ORK routes were well established prior to the close down of Air Southwest.
in fact looking at the caa stats during 2010 SZ carried 10,800 on the DUB route and 4600 on the ORK, with 2011 having over 7000 to DUB and 3000 to ORK prior to the close down of SZ.
EI regional could pick up a decent passenger load at NQY by offering onward connections, considering how badly connected NQY currently is, would there be any difference connecting at DUB compared to LGW or getting the train to LHR ?
