The new strategy is enhance connectivity into VS network for starters. Easyjet flew SEN BFS at the get go of their SEN base. Loads were poor mid week, and while weekend was better, prices were usually much less than LGW and LTN or STN. It didn't last long.
I'm not persuaded by this development but best if luck to all concerned.

You'd really have to wonder about Flybe.

I suspect the planned 3x daily might be a bit much but time will tell. EZY have the STN route to themselves and there's plenty of people using it from parts of Essex etc that are closer to SEN, also the fact its BHD will hopefully be a further draw to business pax.
Strategy wise I think this is all about growing BHD-LON market share, BE have LCY to themselves and SEN will be too, nice safe distance from the competition. Having been pushed off the DUB - SEN route I'd imagine BHD is seen as good home territory, they're so well established here.
All that said, currently no official announcement yet, its just from someone's twitter feed.

Confirmed from inside source that HOP will be will be soon announcing BHD-CDG 7 Days a week with a night stopping A/C. Vueling are also set to operate ALC,AGP,PMI Summer 20 as well as KLM going to two flights a day, BHD to announce mid OCT. BHD management have also been in contact with Lufthansa to operate a FRA route, A lot of Major European airlines see BHD as a feeder route into their long haul networks. I also hear that Stobart are also looking to BID for both BHD and BFS handling contracts,

I believe that KLM will have extra capacity by way of more flights by the large variant of Embraer
While Aer Lingus drop their 2 sun routes, they will reinstate their 4th LHR rotation most days of the week. Ironically, on some days of the week BA have less seats on LHR than Aer Lingus... BA schedule looks like 4 or 5 daily.
It sounds like Flybe will have the greater frequency on LCY or large plane I should say, though not 100% sure how long that arrangement lasts until. Didn't they put extra capacity onto BHX at some point.
I should thing that 2020 will be more or less the same as 2019...

Not really altogether doom and gloom, the LON market is the most critical really. When you consider how much additional capacity EZY have ploughed into domestic routes from BFS its not so bad all in all.

LHR + LCY both up, and BHX, EXT, LBA, MAN and EDI were barely down in fact EDI was only down 61 pax which is like 2 a day.

I forgot to look at the LON numbers! My apologies
