Does that mean that Govt is effectively subsidising a PSO route before the route can be formally advertised in the relevant UK / EU official journal and a PSO designation exists ?
Do EU rules allow this ? I can't think of anyone who could afford to and would want to be seen disputing this in public, but sounds like it's possibly open to being challenged in court somewhere...
