195 utilisation
At times there is a spare 195 and it usually sits on the 20's at BHX.
Although during the last week or two it has not always been around but
for a few days last week ACARSD was showing no movements for "EA"
or "EJ".
Also the 195 utilisation at bhx has further decreased with a swift ending
of double daily flights to Milan MXP. It now operates daily with the
weekday flight departing BHX at 09.40 basically leaving no time to do
a flight beforehand without re-timing one of the early morning outbounds.
Some days the 195's operate just 4 sectors.
Also cut is the midday Q400 BHX - STR.
You need not to look any further than the CAA stats to see why
both of these routes have been reduced.
The other thing of course both destinations were 145 routes last
summer and there is still a net seat gain. Sensible move if you ask
me although the flight timings could be better but this might be due
to slot restrictions down route due to the late change.
