"Regretably, news about the dropping of the double daily flights from Cork to Birmingham is now confirmed but the biggest disappointment with the the airport management at Cork came following Ryanair starting the Cork to Dublin route. When EI quit ORK-DUB local management at Cork made approaches to RE to take over the route".
Provisional CAA Stats for February 2006 Birmingham - Cork 10153
Assuming 160 sectors (daily WW + daily RE + 6 a week RE) then the
average pax was 63.45. Based on WW using a 735 it is about a 71% load
factor.
It must be disappointing if you are getting load factors of 70% without making money but no different to other airlines in February no doubt.
Just to note CSA are pulling BHX - PRG next week and the BMI Baby
fares on the same route appear to have increased in April - inevitable
I suppose and I assume they will do the same on Cork until EI start.
