It will be interesting to see how these routes perform, they've given themselves plenty of time to take bookings, so I would suggest BHX knew about the imminent loss of UA and were planning for it. It's just a shame Primera are such a poorly known name in the UK and USA, but I guess they will be getting some sort of deal on airport fees at the UK end, perhaps too in USA as well but to make the whole thing work they are going to need interline agreements for onward connections from EWR and BOS to make the whole thing work I think, and the late arrival time in EWR and BOS isn't going to make connecting that easy.
