ATNOTTS,
Andrew,
Yes understand what you say. However Fly Be are a worry. They have had to axe lots of flights in the UK and re organise due to big losses.
Its great to see them finally making much better use of their fleet utilization,more rotations etc. They have to bring their costs down a lot.This reorganisation might be their last throw of the dice so hope they are successful.
With the economy picking up, I think they have a good chance of surviving and thriving,but we shall see.
Yes agree another big base with Easy Jet etc might overcook some routes. However there are lots of routes not covered from BHX where an away based Easy Jet plane flying to a new destination could benefit us.
Lisbon, Madrid, Vienna, Helsinki come to mind ,although Id prefer a full fare airline.
Keeping everything crossed for some more new route announcements soon.
