I get that going up against (up to) 5x daily Easyjet is formidable, but there is clearly a sizeable point-to-point demand to Paris and there is relatively little network carrier capacity at Bristol for long-haul connections given Bristol saw 10 million pax in the last 12 months.
Anyone able to say why AF have not re-opened or should not re-open a route to CDG ?
Answers on a postcard...
Shortage of aircraft/crew at Hop would be my guess
