The problem with people nowadays is they dont give things a chance, how can they say its gona be axed after its only been operating 2 months?
People are very unawre of just where you can get too from BRS nowadays.
New York is the only route that people don't know about, just ask some of your friends if they knew BRS serves 3 airports in Egypt, or go's to the Gambia twice in the winter, or that EZY serve places like BUD/PRG/SXF/PSA hardly anybody is aware, or that there are weekly charters with both FCA and Balkan to both BOJ and VAR, most people will not have a clue.
How bout the flights to Split and Olbia? - Not a clue!
I think the companies that take a risk at BRS reep rewards in the end, EZY can't of been massively sure when they took over GO and i remember there being talk of pulling out, they stuck with it and now BRS is the busiest base outside of London for them.
Another is Kosmar Holidays who came in a few years back and threw a couple of the smaller greek islands into the equation, and they must of been feeling very cautious about it and hey presto they're raking it in from BRS.
Give it time, it'll do well, 70% is not that bad, and its only going to take a few more peeps to get that up to 80% which is a safe playground as Windsheer said.
