Just seen this.
Its finally happening Carlisle Airport is having Scheduled flights, I can't see it working though as Belfast and Dublin aren't that big of a market and given how far London Southend Airport is from London and to a certain extent how far Carlisle is from Carlisle Airport. I think Virgin Trains won't worry that their half hourly service to London from Carlisle is under threat.
Carlisle itself isn't very big so I can't see there being demand for flights.
LAKE DISTRICT AIRPORT LAUNCHES FIRST SCHEDULED PASSENGER FLIGHTS FOR 25 YEARS
Carlisle airport, gateway to the Lake District, will get its first scheduled passenger flights for a quarter-century on 4 June, when Loganair starts services to Southend, Belfast City and Dublin.
The Cumbrian airport, which is owned by Stobart Group, will have eight flights a day from Monday to Friday, and a total of 12 at weekends.
Jonathan Hinkles, managing director of Loganair, said: “We’re delighted to become the first operator at the new Carlisle Lake District Airport, and will be opening up Loganair’s services to a whole new range of customers.
