Except that they don't seem to be expanding to the hubs in fact they've reduced flights to Heathrow. At the moment it seems it's all about Southend. Maybe that show's who is pulling the strings at the moment.I wonder how many more services will be cut from airports around the country. I think airports that don't have services to hub airports are very much at risk of cuts.

Yes they wouldn't get the PSO funding anymore and there would be no stopping another airline applying for it.If they pulled the Newquay-London Heathrow route, then quite simply they'd lose the funding that the government awarded to have the service run, right? I guess also with the impending Flybe rebrand, it's not helping the situation either...
NQY-LHR flights still not one sale beyond 28 March and the ubiquitous Mr Calder has written about the situation again in the Independent yesterday.Heathrow flights will go onsale on 6th January.
While no doubt keeping the money from the PSO contract. I doubt Cornwall council want to pay money to an airline to operate to Southend!Mr Calder adds that there is speculation in Cornwall that Flybe wants to move the flights from Heathrow to Southend.

I sincerely doubt that Branson has anything to do with it. Gatwick fills the compliance of the PSO but if I was Cornwall council I'd be pretty annoyed as it isn't the access to an international hub they wanted. Irony is the AMS route is.LGW keeps Branson happy as thats where most Virgin holiday flights are rather than Heathrow which is predominately business.....KLM will by happy as they don't have to service the route now.
I believe most PSOs that go to London airports can be operated to any London airport as long as they have slots available. So unless the PSO specifically states Heathrow Gatwick should meet the qualification.My question is: does the switch from LHR to LGW still meet the PSO? Did I read somewhere that when the PSO went to tender, FlyBe fended off a bid from rivals British Airways? Might they get a bit pissed off about it?
