I remember EI having a scissors hub at MAN back in the early 90s with B737s operating. Pre EU open skies, did BA manage to lobby them out?
It wasn't a scissor hub as such, rather a set of services operating on sixth freedom traffic rights such as DUB-MAN-HAM, using mostly 737-200s but also a few on the 1-11-200s. EI stopped of its own accord (I think about the time of the first Gulf War) as it was losing shedloads of money.
