Now that the new Brive-Souillac airport has been going for a while, what are the prospects for Bergerac airport ?
The old Brive airport didn't really have the capacity for anything like an A320 / B737 size aircraft, so Bergerac pretty much had a free run in the area, unless you counted Toulouse or Limoges as proividing competition.

With Air France now operating to the new Brive airport and even Ryanair launching a route to the new Brive, are the days numbered for Bergerac ?
I just can't see there being enough demand to keep both airports going long term and wonder if this will force just one to end up as the dominant airport for the region.

Comments anyone ?
