I doubt that its in that state (wont be any flights......), i have been doing med haul for the last 2 months and there has barely been an empty seat....and those seats arent cheap!
If you're implying the mid-haul routes are doing well because the flights are full, it's not necessarily the case. There are times, of course, such as Ramadan, Eid, school holidays when the seats can be relatively expensive. But the rest of the time the Y class seats are price sensitive, especially on Cairo and Tel Aviv. The previous carrier found it difficult to make money in this market because it was 'knobbled' by BA overheads among other things. Cairo and Tel Aviv may be making some money by virtue of the fact that the larger airframe can accommodate freight and relatively large numbers of Y class passengers.
Competition from other carriers, eg LH, is always a factor on these routes. Although mid-haul may be contributing positively, the remainder of the network may not be doing so well, especially in the winter when the cash-flow from charters is diminished, and the overall result may still be in negative territory.
The previous incumbent's policy was to charge extremely high prices for its seats, especially J class, but still found that it was only a couple of niche routes, eg Baku, that supported the remainder of the network.
