Amen to that, sir. The Stuttgart and Malpensa routes were Maersk's two best revenue earners, and from memory I'd say Lyon was our number 3. Berlin used to deliver reasonable passenger numbers but mitigated by less-than-stellar yields, and it used to be quite hard to get decent TXL slots for a good 2x daily schedule (to boost the schedule attractiveness for business pax and thus push the yields up).
Happy to hear there's a prospect of Regional picking up the BHX-LYS, as there's a reasonable amount of business traffic and it's an important link for local industry (esp. automotive).
