It will be of interest what plans materialise for post end of March 2014 for the LGW slots that are to come from Flybe. Inverness confirmed for a night stop and early flight to LGW, besides that nothing so far.
They have said the slots would be used to increase frequency on existing routes. Though remains to be seen, there are additional peak early morning arrivals times there in the mix, and unless these are used on flights from existing bases, additional night stops to come.
IOM though has be debated somewhat, lies in the balance regarding frequency to London, I sense that EZY will fill the gap being left, but this all remains to be seen.
On an entirely separate but related note, what are Flybe going to do with the freed up capacity from the LGW services?
