Aside from the existing NQY/DND funding, the Regional Air Connectivity Fund seems to have been scrapped as part of this week's government spending cuts

Savings of £16m are made by not subsidising further regional air links – the kind of money that has kept planes going to Newquay and Dundee (whose flights stay protected).

The fund hasn't been scrapped for new routes, and MME-BHD has been shortlisted
