According to an article from 2016 (I believe it was on anna.aero), only about 1/3 of BA passengers on BHD-LHR are connecting passengers, and I imagine there are even fewer connecting with EI. Back in 2016, KLM said that 45% of BHD passengers connected at AMS. This was the lowest figure across KLM's UK/Ireland network, with 75% of all UK/Ireland passengers connecting at AMS. While I do think that this figure would rise if passengers had a greater choice of connections, if anyone is going to suffer from KLM increasing their frequency, it'll most likely be easyJet.
