Hence, I wouldn't agree with the comment. I think BE will be pushed to the limit here and WX will probably stick it out . The wider challenge that BE will get from BA, will in my view make BE reevaluate the LCY operation within a year.
ABZ, INV, EXT & BHD are all competition free at the moment.
Flybe of two years, no twelve months ago, is a completely different airline to what it is today. They have a much lower cost base than BACF which is evident in their head-to-head prices. The fact they have A LOT of money in their back pocket now is only a helping hand.
If they weren't a threat to BA, BA wouldn't have launched DUB. The fact that they've also added a Saturday flight out of AMS shows Flybe are ruffling feathers.
I'd expect to see those purples dashes in LCY far beyond 2015...
