With no other competitors on routes like this (not just from CWL) you’d think they’d look into the potential than going straight into compete with other new carriers on the same routes.
Ah that word ‘potential’. Unfortunately they only have a limited number of A/C and crew so they’ll go where they can make the money. If that’s competing against another airline they’ll do it. It could be that CWL - BHD For example is too marginal. The routes will start up again eventually but let’s be realistic, BE haven’t been gone a day yet...
