It's good to hear BRS is doing so well. They seem to be making the most of what the airport is capable of.
On the subject of BMI, my flight back from ABZ the other night was almost completely full. Overheard someone say they paid over £250 for a one way! Perhaps they're picking up the Eastern Airways slack; although I don't think there was too much when they left the route anyway.
Any news on the hotel? I know it hasn't really progressed but any news on the brand/chain?
