FR Routes

@ ncleflights: That's quite possible - I'm not sure when the times changed though. Both Torp and Bergamo started off as daily flights.

For completeness, here are the TRF and BGY stats:
NCL - BGY 2005: 76K pax, average flown LF 66% (started Feb 05)
NCL - BGY 2006: 50K pax, average flown LF 72% (reduced to 3/7 from Feb 06)
NCL - BGY 2007: 39K pax, average flown LF 66%
NCL - BGY 2008: 9K pax, average flown LF 57% (dropped in April 08)

NCL - TRF 2005: 16K pax, average flown LF 48% (started Sept 05)
NCL - TRF 2006: 56K pax, average flown LF 51% (reduced to 4/7 from Nov 06 and during the summer)
NCL - TRF 2007: 10K pax, average flown LF 58% (dropped in Mar 07)

And while we're at it:
MME - CIA Jan 05 - Feb 06: 78K pax, average flown LF 65% (Made it over the 70% mark only in Jul, Aug and Sept 05, 85% in Aug 05)

As you can see, loads on NCL-GRO (and MME-GRO) have been much healthier. If FR are to expand from the North East (which I'm sure they will, given that they have pretty much every other region of the UK well covered), they will have to choose their routes carefully given the mixed results that they've had so far.
