Le Tirer - you should be working at BOH. help them!!!
Weekly frequencies were the same, the only change was to the days of operation i believe.
The aircraft was not payload restricted as the range didnt require max fuel loads from SOU-PAD. But on wet rainy days it had to divert to BOH/STN.
The daily services from SOU to Germany are poor in passenger volume compared to the one daily flight from BOH to HHN. Thats what i meant when i said BOH has more potential to carry more volume than SOU. I think the yield was the issue. a lot of passengers were language students in the summer and leisure travellers/VFR in the winter. I think in total SOU-3 germany routes carry around c7,000 per month. BOH-HHN single daily carried 8-9k (10k in August) per month.
The one daily B738 was basically like operating 3 Dash 8-Q400's a day.
INcidentally why is the SOU-Hannover route the most popular of the three? I'm surprised. I would have thought Frankfurt or Dusseldorf would be stronger. I do believe SOU/BOH-Berlin would be a strong market.
