Sharklet321, imho I think easyJet if they flew SOU would be daily perhaps with a second some days. I can't see them doing more than that. I'm guessing SOU will be giving serious incentives and they already have easyJet on the ski route. SOU is huge for cruise connections which now is a disaster and then business travel. Daily by easyJet would be better than nothing.
The likes of Eastern would be skeleton schedule at huge prices, if history serves as a guide elsewhere....

Is an announcement still expected tomorrow as alluded to a few days ago? The poster who reported it seemed to think it was an easyJet announcement, so I guess that may mean it's not necessarily going to be for BHD.

As these, what are small airlines, announce all these new routes, money will be flying out the door. The biggest issue facing almost all businesses is cash flow. It is what brings most businesses down, lack of it. Money flying out the door before money starts coming in. And then, is that money coming in profitable? These two airlines are expanding at a serious rate, I hope they know what they are doing. And before you have a go at me, plenty of businesses far bigger than these two have failed due to cash flow. Don't assume those at the top know what they are doing, evidenced by plenty of other businesses that have gone.

And I think Loganair and Eastern are managed better, hence why we haven't seen a wholesale takeover of Flybe routes

A shedload of under-performing routes have been taken out in the last two months - NWI/MAN, EMA/BRU, GLA/SEN, ABZ/SEN, NCL/BRU - frees up five E135/145s in all.
For Eastern, they've re-instated the leases of two a/c which have been parked up for months - so probably not expensive - and are making better use of the the two under-utilised EMB-145's. A new booking engine, yes.

This is not a good position for Bhd at all. Government now saying they don't expect this virus to peak until maybe May/June.
3i invest for capital gains and profits. It will be a long time before Bhd ever recovers to near current levels, if at all. 3i will be considering this and if they can't see a reasonably quick possibility of a return to near normal, they will be considering their position. Currently, Bhd probably doesn't carry a value anywhere near what they paid for it. Economic reality is flowing over us like a major storm and it is not easily stopped. It is all very well bold statements about re-placement services from Bhd, but who is going to take that chance now? Many airlines are now in a battle to survive, talk of expansion just stupid.
Capitalism has given most of us a very good life over many years now, but it doesn't always behave well. Now is one of those times and at the end of this, there will be many casualties. A process of renewal, but not nice. It is something I give warnings about every day.
