Centralwings

A strange one if true. Given it is only 4 weeks since the inaugral service, there can't really be anything in terms of passenger volumes or yields that they know now that they didn't know before the service launched. If the service wasn't selling well, why bother launching for 2 months? Everything I've heard suggests the loads have been very healthy, despite the hour. Strange also that Centralwings just begun an advertising campiagn in the area. I observed ads on 4 or so busses during a trip in Leeds yesterday that have clearly only just gone into circulation. That would leave some sort of unforseen operational issue that has only come to light since the flights started operating as the most likely explanation. I'm not sure what that might be. The flights, 2 days of operation aside, have been punctual and I note that the Warsaw - Shannon service operates overnight with similar timings to the Leeds service and is still on sale.
