If EZY were to get LON-Moscow, would that also allow them to operate Moscow from MAN too? If VS won the rights they would be unlikely to include MAN into the mix.
Just asking.
If i recall correctly, as of a few years ago, the bilateral was restrictive only for London-Russia, i.e. it was not explicitly restricted e.g. for UK carriers wanting to operate flights from MAN/BHX. I'd guess that the issue Cathay might have faced was perhaps related more to fifth-freedom rights.
