No truth in these rumours at all. As has been said, you don't order a new fleet of a/c and then close down half the bases. BRS flights rarely depart with less than 100-120 pax on board. The EDI and GLA routes are particularly busy at the minute, BACX flights from the Scottish destinations frequently carry maybe 10 or 15 pax compared to EZY's 120 or so. There's probably more truth in the "BACX to close BRS" than the "EZY to close BRS" rumour. Easy's BRS-NCL route starts on August 1st, there's some talk of new BRS routes to MAD, MUC and GVA (with a GVA based a/c) this winter and they just signed up with the BRS handling agent for the next two years. BUT Easy do seem to have problems with Ops and Crewing which may well count against them in the future. As far as the fares are concerned, some full-frills carriers are catching on but I've never had any trouble getting a cheap seat. EDI for £28 return, PRG £58 and NCL £25. Whoever started this rumour: who or what is your source?????
