PGF

In this instance I doubt it and I don't think I am nieve in saying that.

Both seem to do their own thing at BHX and I think the new Ryanair Bergamo service was more aimed more Monarch than flybe.

If they really wanted to hurt flybe they would have done double daily on EDI for a couple of seasons. Since Baby came off the route flybe has virtually doubled the fare on the first two departures ex BHX although fuel and APD has not helped in recent times. I still imagine this is a nice little earner but good for them if it helps the bottom line - the Spring Fair prices in early Feb on EDI-BHX-EDI are eye-watering.

Even with the French flights, PGF is the only one where they have got in each others way.

Other news - quite a few AF & LH A321's due over the next few weeks no doubt Spring Fair has influenced these upgrades.
