I've asked a couple of times myself, but it'd appear not. Must not be too bad since the route is still to be operated from tomorrow. But must not be to great either if we still haven't heard of an extention of the service and becoming year round.

Since the route was only announced on 25th February it's probably a bit premature to make it year round. I would have thought they would give it a month or two and see how bookings for the route are

The reason we're pondering this slightly earlier than usual is probably because when a route to EDI was announced out of NOC, it had the same scenario... Seasonal flight ending before Winter, but then 1 month before the route started in March/April, they announced that there would be extra rotations and the route would be made year round.

Obviously there is still time, and I might have been a bit pessimistic in my previous post, but I do hope LDY can develop it's relationship with BE and have numerous year round routes in time. With the UK City of Culture title for the City, increased visitors could really be good for an airline like BE!

Very good news for Inverness concerning booking rate on the new AMS service.

Cheers

175

On here it has been mentioned it could be Inverness - Gatwick.

BHX I have heard gets at least one later in the year.

I'd doubt with recent news it'd go to Inverness just to serve LGW. There is doubt over the routes sustainability due to increased landing fees at Gatwick. It seems that smaller aircraft based airlines are being targeted as LGW trys to get more passengers through their doors with larger aircraft whilst still having just one runway.

The E175 might help other routes already served from Inverness, if the routes are growing steadily.

There was talk of INV however believe that it is somewhere else. Anybody else within the company know if it is being openly discussed don't really want to risk my cmd at the next bid!

175

Not sure why I was so coy with the BHX details as it is posted on at least one site. However it does say subject to change.

5 September BHX-STR-BHX-DUS-BHX-DUS-BHX during the week, Jersey, Toulouse and Glasgow mentioned for the weekend.

Of course Embraer have already issued press releases stating that delivery schedules might slip due to possible delays in receiving parts from Japan (Earthquake related).

Jethro's has May 11 delivery for that very aircraft in the photo.

G-ECOV per skyliner left the fleet today EXT-GLA-RKV.
