It seems odd to me, to only do one flight a week.

But, this is the desperate realisation that FR find themselves in. They cannot afford to develop a route, because the losses are not covered by massive gains on other routes anymore.

A 75% DISCOUNT in previous years would have been excuse for multiple daily flights and lots of fanfare.

It's a losing game for FR I'm afraid. I believe we haven't seen the worst yet either. Their figures will be shocking this winter.

The game is over for their existing business model. The punters no longer have any money, and FR are no longer cheap.

And that's all they ever had. MOL had better think up a plan and quick.......

p.s. Tommyc2005: I thought people go skiing on other days other than Saturdays??? I thought that was the whole FR principle... open up options....
