Visitor to KIA Manston last week

[KentSeaSider]

Overheard in the "Jolly farmer" in Manston, David Bryon (MD of BMIbaby) was seen flying into Manston last week and was met for a 2 hour meeting by the airport director and someone from EUjet. Flew in one of his company aircraft, had the meeting then departed.........anyone heard any more ?.

bmi might be interested in some new routes.
And some routes that eujet have proved to be viable from manston and also some routes to and from lahr.
planestation may be willing to relinquish eujet routes in favour of the bmi operation of some routes.
planestation might prefer to allow the established locost airline to operate established routes at favorable rates to help promote the airport/s
lahr is now expected to be granted a pax/mail licence, so allowing bmi and eujet to compete with rayanair for some of the german traffic would be beneficial to eujet/planestation.
also the imminent BIP clearance would suit BMI as they could shift some cago from NEMA to kent.
