KLM is definitely showing faith in LPL even though the route is unprofitable - they need 70% loads for profitable ops but loads have risen to 60%. Booking for the 4th daily service are "already strong" Split is 25% business, 75% leisure with 79% of the pax connecting in AMS. Some people are still using MAN for the KL flights though (though they'd done extensive advertising. Sure i've seen some KL to LPL adverts in the Manchester Evening News?)
