Has anyone not thought ,why fares on these routes need to be so expensive ?
Fair enough BA have a monopoly on certain routes, but the costs are required to maintain a dedicated fleet of small turboprops, provide maintenance at remote airfields and cover the cost of operating flights with perhaps only 1 or 2 passengers on board- without cancelling willy nilly when it suits.
These short-lived types obviously don't understand the overheads involved in providing service commitment routes. These are not suitable for the typical low cost model as im sure Air Caledonia will find out to their cost in at most 6 months time.
