As for Brexit, well that's this year's excuse for everything it seems.
It's easy to be dismissive of the "Brexit excuse" but with sterling having fallen heavily against the US dollar, and so much of regional traffic is UK originating, leisure based, it is going to be these routes rather than the LHR routes that will suffer most, as their PAX are the most price sensitive.

Brexit is going to have an effect, if only from a cost point of view, but less so where inbound business / tourism is the driver.
