Really annoying for pax to not be able to OLCI/get a mobile BP…
DBV and SPU have a special system which is airport wide, so retrofitting one system for one small airline isn't sensible. CGN I don't know for sure, but I was under the impression that the initial service there - many years ago now - was a bit of easy-come, easy-go trial so they weren't going to go to the effort of training everyone in FLY. But it may be they too have an airport backbone system.
