Just a reminder for the less 'business' orientated
out there.....

Big aircraft......lots of empty seats......BAD

Small aircraft...lots of full seats..........GOOD

As BA fly 'business' type routes from Manchester
the type of aircraft is fitted to the fat or thin -ness
of the route.

The yield from such flights can obviously vary
quite a lot.Just ask yourself why Ryanair and
Easyjet seem to be doing okay!
BA brought in GB as a 'Leisure' arm for leisure
destinations to try and get some of the market.

BACX has struggled along for too long without the
backing of the public/business sector of the
travelling public.

If routes cannot support themselves then
downgrading or canx occurs.
