British Airways Cityflyer

Interesting that a couple of years ago BA CityFlyer tried some of these routes at weekends from BHX and BRS but withdrew them after a couple of summer seasons as they didn't appear to work for the airline. SOU has far less competition so might be a better bet in that sense. It also sits in the middle of the very big Bournemouth/Southampton/Portsmouth conurbation.

It's runway length has always been its Achilles heel and it is currently seeking planning permission to extend it slightly. The BACF Embraers should have no difficulty from the existing runway I guess.
 
With their runway restrictions BACF should be the perfect airline. Hopefully they'll add more over time and revive SOU fortunes.
It looks like it'll be a 2 aircraft weekend operation but 1 route Bergerac also has a Tuesday flight.

I hope it is a success, but SOU need more flights than these to get anywhere near they used to be.
 
Was only 4 weekly weekend flights after all. Heard TUI are interested in coming and have visited the airport recently!

i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow

For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
