. I'm also told that the loads are not what was expected (less then 30pax on some LGW sectors!) and rumour has it that thay have already pulled off AMS before even starting.........!
There is far more competition at MAN and it seems that one route has already been canned (MAN - AMS)
Your rumour is wrong about the AMS. It's actually doing really well and some flights going full. LGW loads are low but are picking up considering it's only been on sale for 2 months. Most of the other flight have quite high load factors and the forcast is good for the future too.
