The initial plan for EMA-NQY was to utilise the ATR over a much longer season. That was far too ambitious in every respect. A Friday, Sunday and Monday service in high season, June-September would probably have been more realistic, though given the abysmal weather this year even that might have struggled.
Interesting to see if EMA-NQY returns for S24.
