ORKBOS will operate, I believe. I have no idea if it is economically viable, but for Norwegian it is a political necessity. I suspect pent-up demand will keep it going for 12-18 months, a few times a week. Which will probably be long enough for Norwegian to quietly cancel the route.
The EIR schedule for the winter doesn't look quite complete. Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons are light, there are a few slots through the rest of the week. The evening MAN doesn't operate on Tue, Thu and Sat, neither does GLA (GLA does operate on Tue mid-morning though).
BHX - 13 weekly (2x daily ex Sat) & BHX-SNN Daily ex Sat
BRS - 7 Weekly
EDI - 7 Weekly & EDI-SNN Daily ex Sat
GLA - 5 Weekly
MAN - 18 Weekly
NCL - 3 Weekly
SOU - 4 Weekly
There's plenty of room too add more services, or increase frequencies. It would be easy to add SNN-GLA 3x weekly, increase MAN to 21 weekly and still offer LBA 2-3 weekly, based on the remaining gaps. I hadn't realised SNN-GLA had been chopped. Was it a flyBe route?
SOU must be doing very well, 4x weekly in its first winter is a good show, I think.
