I can see STN - BHD, GCI, IOM, INV, JER, NQY, NCL
I'd really like to see BHD getting a STN link back; it has quite a history,
  • Air UK did daily F100 on the route in the past, in 90s (if I recall)
  • Not sure if JEA/BE did it in the intervening time, as they did do a BFS STN with BAC 1-11
  • Air Berlin double daily F100 and 737 (up to 7k pax pm)
  • Ryanair up to 5 daily 738 (up to 31k pax pm)
  • bmibaby up to 2 daily 733 (up to 10.5k pax pm)
The outlook is quite bleek for the domestics now that BE are stepping away from routes that will struggle to get another airline, without an airline who can give transfer connections as LHR and LGW will not be accessible. BA did NQY in the past ex LGW, without FR in the market, and without BE, perhaps BA might look at a double or single daily 319, I imagine a late LGW NQY then nightstop and an early NQY LGW could provide business man with a flight and connecting passenger with a good opportunity to feed into the long haul and other flights from LGW.
