Re: BIRMINGHAM
Moving the flight to an early morning departure from CGN, with no evening return, it seems that GERMANWINGS were looking for an excuse to discontinue this service. The original mid afternoon schedule was ideal for me, but it never achieved more than a 70% load factor at the best of times; not good enough for an LCC I guess. I consider CGN-BHX a good mixed business and leisure route and it can work. However, to attract the business side it has to be twice daily. Probably be ideal for a 100 seater.
