I've just looked at the Eastern Apron website plan and the Zurich is shown parked on Stand 1 (G-EMBC). I thought when I looked that this was a signal honour. Have they got it wrong on the plan?

Do I read you correct when you say this is a full load? If so, does it contain a fair proportion of freebie travellers publicising the new route?

Let's hope this route is a success this time. Crossair didn't seem to be able to make it work about ten years ago but the aviation market is different now.

The easy route to Geneva seems to be doing very well with CAA stats showing figures that indicate an average load approaching 91% in February. I know that is mainly a ski route in winter but at least it shows that well over 8½ thousand people were prepared to fly a scheduled route to/from Switzerland in one month (the abridged month of February at that), with another 3½ thousand on charter flights to the same destination.

Promising signs for Zurich then.
