Fr - Fco?
A couple of points, the main one is a posting on UK forum quoting an
Italian forum claiming that slots are in for two based units at Rome FCO,
has anyone got any more information on this?
My interest is due to the fact that one flight mentioned is daily bhx, which is certainly a "missing" route for bhx now that baby pulled their service but again it would part-compete with EMA (see anna_list's comments). The EMA-SNN was destroyed (load factor wise at least) once BHX-SNN started although some quoted that yields were never very good even after it recovered from its poor start.
As for another comment "some of the UK regional bases have been looking very poor", are you including BHX in that?
Not that I am disagreeing, as prices throughout November, December and the start of January have been rock bottom (along with some load factors) but some of their route choices have defied logic.
I realise that part of the reason was probably due to BHX leading them away (at first) from competitor's existing services and the need to "shovel pax" through certain airports but there were better pickings to be had.
Sounds like a busy week coming up.
