Don't all airlines reduce fights they operate when demand isn't there ? Thats the reality of the industry and always has been
Very true, but no other airline I know of totally over hypes an announcement of a new base (complete with over inflated pax, based aircraft and 'jobs that will be created' figures) for just under 18 months later to withdraw (sorry 'suspend') nearly half their flights (i'm talking BHX specifically here). Do people in Route Planning at FR know what they're doing or is it the
PR Dept that needs to be a little less throwaway about the figures they bandy about in press releases? 10 based aircraft and 100 routes by 2010 for BHX was it?
