Thanks as always CU for an indepth breakdown!

I'm not going to lie, I'm not overly impressed by the load factor on MAN. 640 passengers used the route whilst 1039 used the 3 weekly service between EDI and NOC. It is still early though and we must keep our fingers crossed that this one dip in the pool scares BE of for another while. I think EDI would be better for BE out of LDY due to the distance between EDI and Preswick.

Hopefully BE can get the extra 10 passengers per flight that I believe would be needed to make this sustainable. And besides they haven't got scared of by the route numbers pre operation. So it must be somewhat profitable even if the pax numbers aren't magnificant!

Look forward to using the route in August and the mothers booked on the service in 5 weeks time!
