With the scheduled airlines buying smaller aircraft and increasing frequencies - not to mention the explosion of "no frills" carriers - is it any wonder? I fly between BRU and BHX fairly regularly. Over the years it went from one airline and two flights per day to three airlines and sixteen daily (weekday) departures. The latest increase on this route came when BA replaced the A319s with ERJs and increased the frequency. Apart from the DAT/SN Brussels Airlines RJ100s all other services are operated by CRJs and ERJs. With the exeption of a few flights on Monday/Tuesday mornings and Thursday/Friday evenings, most fly with less than 40% loads. Now, this is just one example but it is repeated throughout Europe. You're all going to love this but I think it's time to regulate air travel in Europe again!
