Is'nt that exactly what the last sentence is all about. It explains quite clearly the reason for giving up the route. The airline is now successful and profitable,something it wasn't 2 years ago.

Why put all yur eggs in one basket. Traditionally British European was heavily reliant on business passengers to increase yield on routes and then something like 9/11 happens and business passengers tighten their own budgets.
All that Flybe is doing now is minimising their exposure to such risks by having a more even split of leisure and business destinations. Along with increased competition flybe have ditched rotations out of BHD to existing destinations and adding routes like SOU/BRS-Bergerac - niche leisure routes along with the EXT/SOU-AGP/ALC.
It would be worth pointing out that flybe have competed effectively against Easyjet on the BRS route. They will do so on the NCL route and also on the new GLA/EDI routes just launched. Belfast is getting more flights from flybe now than ever before......not less.
