To be fair they were doing very well at Stansted with the two 321’s, putting aside the short blip at the beginning with the 757 from National, high loads, good time keeping, then the airline decided to send one of the new aircraft to Paris and things started getting messy again. I don’t blam Primera, I blame Airbus.
Im sure primera had it’s reasons for splitting up the two 321’s at Stansted, but to me it would have been better to keep at least one base fully operational with its own aircraft and branding and built up the reputation.
im still not writing the off I think they could have a good business model when all the new aircraft are in place.
