Yes Cityflyer are still based in Didsbury.
If LHR had more slots would BA still have the Gatwick hub.
If Easyjet had gotten into Manchester earlier would they have still served Liverpool?
If LaGuardia didn’t have the perimeter rule, would they see more long range flights?
Shoulda, woulda, coulda. No point dwelling on what ifs. This is the situation we have, and it seems to be working well.
If the rest of you want to look down your noses, or stubbornly refuse to believe anything than this purely being a ‘spare aircraft’ situation, go for it, knock yourself out.
However, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester can continue to enjoy their moment that BA has seen some potential outside of London or purely linking London to the regions in those airports, and whether it’s down to a fluke circumstance or not, it brings in revenue, passengers and more options for those airports, so as said, I don’t think they will be loosing sleep that some enthusiasts see the flights as some almost ‘pitty’ offering.....

BRS did a full season of flights in 2017 with 4 destinations. Some of the destinations will be increased in S18 with mutterings of extra destinations served.
The FLR rotation in S17 was a E170 but the rest were E190.I think the FLR rotation to be upgraded to a E190 in S18

Saturday
BA7340 AGP 0105 BRS 0245
BA7023 BRS 0615 PMI 0940
BA7022 PMI 1025 BRS 1155
BA7016 FLR 1105 BRS 1225
BA7021 BRS 1245 AGP 1625
BA7017 BRS 1310 FLR 1625
BA7020 AGP 1715 BRS 1900
BA7019 BRS 1945 IBZ 2310
BA7018 IBZ 2355 BRS 0120 (Sun)
Sunday
BA7021 BRS 0625 AGP 1005
Apart from timings where in summer 17 each flight came in to BRS and then out again whereas in summer 18 an E190 will be 'based' at the airport on Saturdays, the only other difference is an additional Malaga rotation each week that gets the aircraft into BRS early on Saturday mornings and out again early on Sunday mornings.
Although the BRS press release says all flights will be on the E190 the web booking page shows the Florence as an E170 as was the case in summer 17. This is the only route not operated by the 'based' E190.

EZY serve both GLA and EDI so yes, I suspect LPL would still be served. They even serve STN/LTN/SEN as well as LGW, so different model IMHO.
No one’s getting knocked out, but by the same token, some people get a little carried away and misty eyed at the sight of that Union Flag fin. They’ve pretty much managed to sew up LCY, growth potential is now limited, especially given the markets they’ve tried and given up on. So any major growth targets will be elsewhere, so foot in the water and all and good luck to them.
Maybe they’ll get those A321NEO IAG is buying and make a return to MAN/BHX/GLA-JFK? There’s a growth target! (I am joking but who knows?)

How is posting a timetable and commenting on the fact it’s growth ‘getting carried away’.
Seems you agree slightly in that this could lead to more in the future, so all is well in the world then.

The MAN flights go to mid April, which is about normal for ski flights. A lot of the other ski flights end around that I’ve too, including the Austrian to Innsbruck from various U.K. airports, and MAN/BHX-SZG to name a few.

BACF & LGW
Is it me or am I missing something?
Cityflyer for years now, have been nibbling away at Big BA’s routes.
Are BA are missing what the management are up to?
Now Cityflyer are doing LGW routes and BA’s BALPA are fine with this. Are they really so dumb.
Cityflyers are cheaper so managers are happy to keep edging they into BA routes.
Are BA BALPA blind. They should have CF guys on BA seniority list.
Dumb or what?

It's probably either that or another Qatari bout of short haul ops into/out of London.

( Wonders off thinking about "zippers" ...........no, not that sort...)

Don't BA need to pay CitiFlyer for operating out of LGW on behalf of mainline? They're covering mainline just like Qatar or Jettime have done in recent times. The SCOPE clause would only kick in if CFE were ever to operate "normally" for BA out of LGW, then they're undercutting mainline and you have an industrial relations issue/

Have read on a couple of forums and on the BA thread on this site that BACF are to op mainline services during S18
However the only details I can find online regarding BACF operating for mainline is in regard to the weekend LGW to AMS and EDI from mid Feb to end of the current winter schedule.
Does anyone have any info on whether or not BACF will be op ex LGW beyond the 24MAR18?
