But the ZB flights generally did very well. In fact, one of the flights even operated on a 757 on a W pattern with LTN (possibly on a Sunday?) and they managed to fill that up. The reason for leaving GIB was cited as airport fees. Perhaps a cover up, but why then offer XRY (a lesser known destination) as an alternative if the flights direct into GIB didn't work in the first place. Although admittedly it is a little strange that they've kept the GIB-LTN route if they had gripes with the airport over fees.
Anyway, we won't see ZB on the MAN-GIB route in a hurry I'm sure of that. XRY is doing nicely for them (157 pax inbound tonight). But I would like to see another carrier on this route. Shame FlyGib couldn't get off the ground, I think they could have made it work. Does anyone believe that another airline will take on their intended routes?
