As for PRG the loads at BRS are only slightly higher but instead of cutting back EZY raise that to daily.
The PRG has always been daily at BRS (summer and winter) since it started in 2002.

It carries around 90,000 pax a year, give or take (eg 93K in 2005 and 89K in 2004 - 2006 not yet available).

Incidentally, CWL is not alone in having seemingly popular routes pulled.
easyJet axed both the CPH and BUD at BRS despite very good load figures, so they must have decided there were better yields elsewhere.

There has been much made of Welsh accents of pax on BRS flights.

This should be no surprise because BRS says approximately 10% of Lulsgate's pax are from South Wales (master plan stats) which works out at around 1,500 per day on average throughout the year.

CWL says that about 10% of its pax come from the West Country so there ought to be quite a number of burrs on the speech of people using aircraft at Rhoose.

Or perhaps we on this side of the Channel are shrinking violets and don't say much so you wouldn't know.
