Good to see the A350 back but means a slight drop in capacity compared to the original plan with the dropping of the 789 but still an overall daily increase from 1st December.
It is good news. Given that QR is currently transporting 30k+ pax per month on the route (acknowledging that this total may dip a little off season), surely other ME carriers, aircraft availablity allowing and crew etc, before long will want a slice of this pie? TK also doing very well to/from EDI with transfer pax from the Indian sub continent and Pakistan bolstering their pax numbers. We all know who the other ME carriers are but is it just a case of when rather than if?
