There are a lot of opportunities for expansion by Eastern, they specialise in niche business routes and need to be careful. Two recent examples, Inverness - Newcastle and Newcastle - London City both failed to attract the numbers of pax required and the London City route had a double whammy effect with the airport greatly increasing its fees, making the route non- viable with a small aircraft. I still hope they might consider ABZ - NCL - LCY with a larger aircraft which might work.

It would be nice if Eastern considered Exeter with the larger aircraft (Don't really want the Jet Streams) as we handle enough of their diversions.
The Saab 2000 and the Jet aircraft could be used on services to destinations not currently served by Flybe....Brussels for example.

Don't think this is correct - I thought it was the end of the introductory period for new routes. Not quite the same thing.

Best thing Eastern can do is wate and pick up the better drop outs from the BAcon rape. FlyMaybe will not be taking on lots of routes that are not good for the Q400 because of low pax numbres
these coud be good for the J41s of Eastern where yeald is more important than numbres.

What about Eastern Airways adding more routes from Cardiff or add frequency on the CWL - NCL. When Eastern Airways started operating at CWL it mentioned Aberdeen why havent they ever operated the service?
Fit like min?

T3 have been pretty quiet on the expansion front of late.
Wonder if they have crewing issues, with people leaving and not enough newbies coming in.
Could be one theory.

when did you hear of them possibly coming back to CWL info desk? All they need to do is operate a viable route from CWL rather than the BRU that failed so miserably.
