As mentioned above by Mart901, BHD-NCL is being increased to x2 daily. Both flights are operated as NCL-BHD-NCL, instead of NCL-BHD-IOM-BHD-NCL, as it is currently.
The morning NCL-BHD and afternoon BHD-NCL rotations are also being marketed as ABZ-BHD and BHD-ABZ, respectively, in the same way that NCL-IOM is currently operated; i.e. BHD-ABZ gains an additional daily frequency, albeit with a fuel stop in NCL.
BHD-IOM is remaining at x1 daily, with the following schedule;
BHD-IOM 11:20-11:55
IOM-BHD 15:20-15:55
The aircraft operates IOM-GLA in between the two BHD sectors, but I have been unable to find where the aircraft goes before and after the IOM rotation.
According the current schedule, the Eastern Jetstream operating BHD-IOM will be sitting on the apron at BHD all morning and all evening. It seems quite plausible that the Jetstream could be operating BHD-CAX twice daily, with the aircraft being based at BHD.

Interesting 'Keep looking over Here, Don't look over There!' approach.
Certainly LCY is increasing in frequency in the summer months, but the schedule appears to virtually half in size back to three daily in winter 18-19. Together with normal off-season cuts to niche routes like Inverness, Exeter and Aberdeen, the cuts mentioned on Leeds and more radical cuts on EMA.
And I don't actually see any 'live' seats on sale on the website in winter for Isle of Man and Newcastle - so maybe the jury's out altogether on those??
Of course I'm open to being re-conditioned and suitably corrected.

So it looks like Eastern nights have 2 aircraft based at BHD.
Definately the E170 for the LCY flights - not sure if it has another rotation in the morning as there is a gap. Currently the aircraft does
BHD-LCY-BHD-XXX-BHD-LCY-BHD-LCY-BHD
The Saab or emb for the IOM route does nothing early morning then
BHD-IOM-GLA-IOM-BHD
I can’t see any other sectors or who the aircraft gets to and from BHD

CAA January Stats
In January BHD handled 163,123 passengers, a 3% increase on last year.
Domestic Routes;
The majority of domestic routes saw impressive growth;
ABZ (+7%), CWL (+52%), EMA (+15%), EDI (+5%), EXT (+5%), INV (+26%), LCY (+42%), LHR (+3%)
Five routes saw a decrease in passenger number;.
BHX (-2%), GLA (-10%), IOM (-65%), LBA (-1%), LPL (-21%)
International Routes;
AMS continues to perform well (+12%), and it is clear that a second daily flight is needed as soon as possible.
KEF unsurprisingly is performing poorly, with a load factor of just 26%, and SZG passenger numbers are down as well (-45%).

What airline would operate a potential BHD-STN route though? The only airlines I can think of are easyJet and Ryanair, neither of which would operate from BHD.
Given that Ryanair have returned their LGW slots to IAG, is Aer Lingus now allowed to resume BHD-LGW? If not, I can’t see the route making a return in the near future.
Given that Flybe’s BHD-LCY route seems to be performing well, and will soon be operated up to x6 daily, I wonder if BA CityFlyer will go into competition on the route. I’m surprised that BA have allowed Flybe to establish such a strong foot hole on the route.

Jets Go are not bonded by ABTA/ATOL They claim they are bonded by Spanish regional government funding. I asked them directly and also questioned BHD on social media some months ago and still awaiting a reply. Definitely would not book my holiday with this outfit.
