I agree but it’s the end date of 6th Jan that really doesn’t make sense. Actually logically you’d say the winter months would be strongest for the route as you’ll see more business traffic than high summer and you’ve also got football. For Spurs v Man Utd for example they laid on a E195 last year. It’s also bizarre they’re continuing and then halting it after the very quietest couple of weeks.

The summer ‘19 schedule requires 2 ATRs, so again it’s odd that from 6th Jan they will have an aircraft effectively redundant for three months.

I’m glad it is being continued though as I’ve got two trips booked in the next month.

There’s no sign yet of an E195 for next summer.
