An article today on the Southampton airport news page explains how the new Skiathos route is performing so far . Depends how you read it really

As expected and commented on at the beginning when Fly Lolo launched the route there is a weight restriction on it , of only 97 passengers per flight , blaming the short runway at Skiathos as the issue , using a 118 seat Flybe 195

The first flight is 80 % sold making it about 78 passengers on the the first flight which starts on the 3 rd July but obviously could go up a bit more

I would have thought rather than bin the Palma route which the aircraft was initially on , they should have kept this route and looked for another operator , if indeed there was one . Fly Lolo must be paying Flybe a lot of money to use there aircraft in the face of not operating there Palma service
