I agree with the above, however, not so much more mid-haul but a change of mid haul. Now SVX and ESB have gone, plus the spare 320s ATW refers to [due Emb at LHR], capacity is available. I suspect though it will be within the normal range of the 320 [as opposed to tech stopping] as the two sector strategy did not work that well for BMED and by all accounts is not brilliant for BMI. It does serve a purpose on some routes but is not ideal by any means. I quite fancy the Russian market myself..............St. Petersberg maybe, DME is doing well. I hope they are hedging the fuel now though before OPEC cuts capacity! Sorry thread creep there. Who knows, not I......
