Goldeneye,
Good suggestion. Surprised that there hasn't been more interest in this topic. I'd put Flybe and AerLingus top of my list. That said AerLingus is now fairly confined to the island of Ireland for expansion and bringing an Aer Lingus commuter service in-house again could be a good move and potentially at a lower cost to Stobart, given shared services etc. At AerLingus head office? As it stands the Stobart AerLingus contract is good until 2022.
