I wish I knew. It is very frustrating. The M5 last Friday was a joke from Bristol southbound, although the northbound from Wellington to WSM and then around Bristol was even worse. I just don't get Caravans, why have a 50K car and a chemical toilet? Surely you can afford a B&B?

Me too. My experience of the flights year round is that they are always well patronised in both directions - surely this is easy business.

Today is the final SHT 1350/1351 of the season being operated by A319 G-EUPU
sad to see that no London connection will exist to London after this and the summer seasonal U2 LGW route finishes

I am almost impressed that despite my self imposed ban on NQY, they have still managed to find a way to get to me on the final day!

I guess it will be interesting to see if cancelling and restarting the process has given Flybe sufficient time to get together a bid to access the subsidy.

Well we're in the middle of a worldwide health crisis and airlines have been bleeding money for the best part of 2 years. I'm not very much aware of the levels of competence of CCC but I think most airlines are busy trying to stem the haemorrhage first!

I seem to remember that the last process wasn't exactly a model of transparency - would we expect to have any visibility of which operators have expressed interest, or is complete silence until mid-October more likely?

I hope they don't do that. I'll never understand why they want to bring back Flybe. It was an average airline that served NQY well to London but any other airline could fill in and the service would be the same. Hopefully we find out what's happening soon, maybe BA's lowcost option is viable? But I suspect it'll go to Logan, if they've submitted a bid.
