Think FR initially arrived in BFS with Gatwick remedy slots from the IAG takeover of Aer Lingus?
But having chopped and changed a bit, looks like their heart isn’t in it.
Good opportunity for EZY and Jet2 to strengthen - perhaps Wizz too?

A lot of the growth at BFS from U2 and LS has been spurred by FR being there. Be interesting to see if they do pick up anything or of they retract back to profit maximisation.
Interesting talking to a source of mine, a lot of the issues with FR relate to them being unable to fill a/c without heavy discounting. Seems EZY have a more solid and loyal customer base than FR reckoned on, especially in the case of domestic.

Jet2 appear to have cut Faro down to 5 days a week next summer rather than 6. This year there was no flight on a Wednesday but next summer they have no flights on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

The olympics resulted in a dip in tourism to London.

Ryanair going to be using Ryanair Sun for the canaries bases. So this is all about cost cutting. What are the chances they will return on these routes via this subsidiary?

So Ryanair in effect TrueBlue are substituting a Ryanair operation with a RyanairSun/Buzz base. Suggests they are not happy about their cost base. Equally, let's just see what this does for their already frayed union relationships...

Having the story in the local rag is one thing, having it on the front page of one of the most visited websites in the UK is another: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49628875
Disastrous PR.

4500 surveys out of membership of 1.6 million.
No independent verification is provided that the people concerned have actually visited ANY airport yet somehow yet again everybody should believe Which?
It's job is increasing subscriptions and surveys like this help.
Which?
Who would subscribe to Which to work out which airport to fly from? If you are business, it's the schedule and if you are leisure its the price. I fly through BFS several times a year and yes it is shabby, but there have been recent improvements. No security delays when I fly but it's late in the evening. Much busier than when I worked there as a despatcher in the 80s and the ground handling seems to have improved over Servisair days.
I was not commenting on the veracity of the survey; rather the fact BFS has been the recipient of many episodes of disastrous PR over the last 12-18 months, if not longer. I often despair at the state of the place, the first impression many inbound tourists get.
