The slots applied for are using current SOU flight numbers (772x are MME-SOU route)... the mayor told me yesterday that SOU wasn’t resuming on 6 July despite being bookable on the Eastern site. LCY & NQY will.

Not launching on the 6th. Mayor has confirmed.
Question is where would the slots come from. They are protected for the summer season but BA will have to lease some out if they don’t want to lose them. Domestic operators such as Eastern or Loganair are not really a threat and could give BA some feed.

If I’d said this time last year that Teesside would account for a high % of all new routes in the UK and Eastern were getting slots for a 3x daily service to Heathrow from anywhere you’d have had me locked up for my own protection
Great, booked flights SOU-MME-SOU for July for a business meet in North Yorkshire, fares only £49 each way, whereas LBA is £100+ o/w
Go to hire a car at MME airport and all rental locations are closed by 18.30 when Eastern Airlines flights arrive - You really cannot make this up...... Huge fail again.

I now gather the actual SOU-MME service may not now operate anyway, so I would likely have been re protected on the Leeds or NCL services.
Anyway I think I back now again to using the car....

Very interesting developments!
Do we know if SOU is off for good, or just not restarting yet?
Has the mayor said anything about Heathrow; can’t seem to find anything other than the spotter source? If this turns out to be true; I will have to eat a lot of humble pie! 😋

If you look on Easterns website southampton (like Cardiff) shows as going through Teesside - which it wasn’t before and wasn’t when I flew on this route just before lockdown, note sure if that’s a sign of what is happening?

I was under the impression that ABZ-SOU was via NCL, not MME. Wherever it stopped, it's definitely off sale now, at least for the dates I looked at in July and August. NCL-SOU and MME-SOU are still bookable though. All very confusing.

This is all assuming the SOU-MME route survives the current LHR swap carry on.
Interestingly SOU-NCL & rtn is currently running with a ~4 hour sit at NCL (presumably where the ABZ leg would have been?), could be reinstated if SOU-MME is dropped?
