I don't think anyone has said so specifically, the only people who'll know anything about the yield of the route will be KLM's accounting division.

What I did say was the fact that the flights were regularly full (therefore including the more expensive business class seats) might indicate that at least some money was being made. But again that's just my opinion, I've got no facts to back that up. It didn't look like a little-used route whose days were numbered, that's for sure.

I agree with StewyB though, two airlines flying mostly full aircraft several times a day would indicate (to me at least) that there's a strong demand for this route, even if only point to point, based on KLM's experience.
