Obviously it is yields and not load factors and there was me worrying that the Stobart 195's would be dumped on the route (before the KLM tie-up) and it is in fact it is even worse. Difficult to believe your last inbound and outbound from BHX can only fill 90 odd seats even up against you know who on the route.

LGW loses daily flight as well. I think BHX yields do better than many think. International station can make it worthwhile as a London alternative. The only options were BHX or MAN for WX ops. Stobart cannot operate anything over 100 seats for EI at the moment.
