So rumours about since last week of new LCY services to previous LGW destinations, now a suggestion that a big bang announcement of new services ex LCY, SEN (coupled with RE deal ) and a new livery/ imagery.

Best of luck to BE, but at best I'd describe the strategy as disjointed and make it up as you go at best. They have just exited one of their longest standing substantial routes, if they had a strategy of staying in that market for example, why is there a break in service? Exit LGW routes in March, customers migrate to other airlines and create habit, then as suggested they after a gap of 5 months re enter the market. Clearly after a business traveller at high fares ex LCY.

The suggestion of compensation for delays £60 etc, I'm not convinced that this is money spent wisely. Delays happen, I'd also suggest the airline has not diagnosed the reasons for its challenges.. It's not significantly about delays of reliability as far as I can see it.
