CDG

6G did the route for baby so that mainline could keep the slots. You will have noted that this was the only baby flight that 6G operated under a WW flight number. The cost where astronomical for an ATR. 6G lost a lot of money on that route and yes it is down to yield looking at BRS BA will keep the slots they are too valuable. FlyBe is changing from a true Loco cost will rise and fares will too hence yield goes up. This will then attract the business flyer. On the subject of the slots 6G did apply for slots at CDG but did not even get a reply from the slot co-ordinator hence the use of WW numbers. Lets get real if you want a Paris ex CWL you need to define your market and then use the airport thats best for your situation for Loco with pax for EuroDisney you need to look to Beauvais if your market is Paris for leisure then look at Pontoise as Debonair did. Twinaisle is right the business pax has left CWL and is now a creature of habit also business travel is declining as we use internet video confrencing e-mails etc etc......

Any one heard anything on OneWales who have put in interest for the PSO route?
