I can confirm it was never released for Summer 2011 and was at the time
the only real short to medium haul cut-back from 2010 possibly along with
one Ibiza rotation, which has since been restored at the expense of AGA.

Since the first release Agadir has gone and one Enfidha.

The reason for the LCA chop is a mixture of no spare aircraft slot as
Dubrovnik which was on a flybe aircraft is to become in-house and I
presume on the based 73H (if there is one this summer).

Obviously I can't think it is to do with competition as Monarch are
staying three weekly as 2010 and Cyprus Airways are no more.

Not sure if there was over-capacity to LCA but with CY's withdrawal
it looks a little thin next summer. Blue Air is bookable on Sunday, which
is the Eurocypria replacement.

Sorry for the late reply, unless anybody else knows different the BMI base
is just one A319 operating three daily Frankfurt every day. One system now
showing it as A320's but could be just the way they show 32series aircraft -
LH still showing A319's.
