If bmibaby had found it worthwhile operating a 737 to Paris then they would have continued to so. They didn’t so AWW operated the route and WW found a better use for the 737.

Trust me there was enough capacity for the 737. This was at a time when babys plan was to open up as many bases as possible, even though they didn’t have enough aircraft to do it. At CWL they had the perfect partner in Air Wales to operate their routes so they could use the 737s to achieve their goal of more bases. They didn’t have this perfect willing partner at EMA, so CWL was the base that suffered. And if it was as unsuccessful as you say it is, why are they bringing back a double rotatuion using a 737. They wouldn’t unless they think it’ll work ,which quite clearly they do.

Great about Nice, shame they didn’t have it flying for this summer, and I’m guessing the French route will be Toulouse. I flew on this flight regularly and it was always full, I mean 100%. Ditching it the first time was perhaps the stupidest decision ever made by bmibaby. Yet again this was to increase capacity at MAN.
