When you refer to the F-28 I take it you mean the F-70!
Canberra97, precisely!!!
The Aer Lingus BFS-AMS didn't have a KLM code share, this was one of the
reasons it didn't last long
Shamrock 350, I am not convinced that this is entirely true, at the same time while BFS AMS with EI operated their flights on BFS LHR and had oodles of capacity with opportunity to connect in LHR yet still lots of seats empty on BFS LHR. This is even true up to when BFS LHR moved to BHD, all the while code share in place with BA.
The 320 was too big for the size of the market, good for business traveller and coupled with fact that (1) took a while to get established, (2) route operated in one of the most challenging winters in some years as far as air travel is concerned.
I agree with comments that EZY will rattle up the competition and make it tough, but the combination off all the variables that I mention will allow this to work on loads that would not have been workable on a 733 of WW;
- A nightstop early departure late back
- Smaller aircraft
- Business traveller and Leisure traveller friendly
- Connectivity
- Attractive to the market that would find BHD more convenient.
