To be honest, FlyBe have been an utter disappointment at NCL. I wouldn't describe the airline having a base at the airport, considering the CDG flights are in AF colours, JER is served once a week and IOM only via BHD. Considering BA left NCL up the spout, domestically I would have expected BE to take over the BHX and SOU routes, internationally, we could have held a flight to AGP and BGY. BE? no miss really...
Eastern has potential to become a big airline at NCL, especially with larger a/c. Also, I wonder if this may accelerate EZY plans to set up a substantial base? Where are the FR flights to HHN, and are Cimber Air starting services to NCL?
