With the current 2 daily RYR and the almost daily EI, I believe there is over capacity on the route. However with EI going and RYR down to once on most days, it has gone from one extreme to another with massive under capacity.
The pax numbers on this route should easily support 2 daily flights. However because of the 3 flights and overcapacity the yields could currently be lower and make the routes unprofitable due to dilution of income by lowering fares in light of the competition.
The timing of the remaining RYR flights are not good for a once daily service, this and a no day return facility will hit pax nos hard.
Hopefully things will return to normal one day.
