Thank you panpanpanpan,
Firstly I'm not on the moral high ground. If it seems that way I apologise.

I am a supporter of free competition too. The market will adjust and find its place over time.

I agree BFS needs an improved facility but with limited ability to charge rates to its airline that can see adequate investment this shows the impact of this leverage that airlines have in this very competitive environment.

Easyjet it a deterrent to airlines going to BFS, with any competing seeks out a point of difference ie BHD , Jet2 is significantly differentiated to withstand EZY competition ex BFS. Moreover, I can see BFS luring FR through sheer desparation to grow traffic for the new owners ... This could put a whole different spin on things.
