Dublin (4 daily)
Belfast City (3 daily)
Exeter (3 daily)
Edinburgh (4 daily)
Inverness (2 daily)
Whoooah that's interesting....
Dublin must surely be predicated on CityJet folding or walking away as they will have no choice but to defend home turf as if their life depended on it, which actually it may well do.
Belfast has never worked from LCY, good luck with that one, CityJet couldn't fill a Do328 last time.
Edinburgh is a BA goldmine and CityJet walked away blooded, very high proportion of silver and golds none of whom will use flybe.
Inverness is pretty seasonal but due to diluted capacity from LGW might do well in the summer. They're launching in October.
Exeter is an unknown I think.

Are they thinking that all their ex LGW customers are going to look again as I suspect most will have discovered the joys of the orange monster at Gatters or T5 at LHR by now.

This is what happens when management decides "something must be done" = "anything". Sixteen flights a day out of LCY.
