well done let’s hope people use it
People were using it albeit loads weren’t brilliant, they were consistently between 40-50% and growing which isn’t bad going head to head with EZY on their well known route to BFS. It was Flybe operating routes with less than 15 people on some routes, consistently, which was crippling them along with their late cancellations and tech issues.

EI have 8 less seats, off the top of my head, so with that in mind and a little more trust in the brand, they’ll be making a little if they can push it to 65-70% loads rather than the aircraft sitting on the ground empty.
