What we need is a loco like Ryanair or Norweigian. To buy a fleet each (and easyjet).
With smaller Aircraft rangimg from twotter for little islands etc through Dash 8 , Saab 340 right up to Cseries or E170 175. And then offer REAL loco prices
Not like flybe. Ryr already like secondary airports.
Smaller Ac on a vast intercity inter uk and scottish airports all highland ones.
Building a network to rival for example Intercity rail.
So eg Fly RYR Regional to Edi or Lba-Sumburgh.
Offer tourist season flights from english cities to The hebrides. Not everyday but enough to tempt tourists perhaps from arriving GLA and having to Drive a hire car for hours then take the ferry.
Any such airline could undercut current inter island flights etc.
As cheaper tickets etc and services theyve never had.
It could be the answer.
Routes like Huy/Dsa to Lcy. Using a small Ac at first if nunbers rise increase availability n more timings.
But if done right it should make a killing.
As afaik Flybe arent loco prices.
We may all hate ryr but they if anyone could make it work.
So on my point.
Kind of a straw poll.
Just for arguments sake the above mentioned that they are to start services.
What routes with a no frills outfit. That already goes to secondary airports . But could now go even smaller.
Perhaps offering the odd Sumburgh -Lcy flight or Sumburgh Huy /Dtv.
Sumburgh has little airline choice but is a big airport..And lots of stands.
With oil offices across the uk. Id bet they could fill an E170. RJ100.
So what routes would you select and from where to where....
Can be any operating passanger airports. How about Lydd.
If you had Domestic London bound flights using an E170. How about Lydd etc.
Thoughts guys?
