I'll see what I can find out for you but I think its been a slow start. There has been no real marketing push on the part of bmi (surprisingly) or by LBA (unsurprisingly) and SN ticket holders only receive 25% discount.
It seems that bmi will run the service along the lines of the CDG operation, e.g. point-to-point pax only, high fares in the week, reasonable deals with a Saturday stopover. Once up to speed, this should give them 4k-5k throughput per month. (Sabena averaged 9k-10k). Still room for DAT for the transfer pax perhaps? (
I can't actually believe that bmi didn't go with LBA-FRA instead of LBA-BRU. It would have given them the same high yield point-to-point traffic, and they woould fill the rest with Star Alliance transfer pax.
DAT are introducing destinations on a daily basis. MAN and NCL are due on line tomorrow.
