Madrid

Not sure about the Manchester Madrid struggling, as I understand it the aircraft change was to be from the CRJ1000 to CRJ900 which is a difference of ten passengers. I have not heard of the CRJ2 50 seater on the MAN route.

I also believe that there have been decent loads, especially in the last few weeks although I know that should be expected during the festive period but it is early days and as mentioned previously there is supposed to have been a lack of advertising.

Turkish at BHX performed poorly until this summer when there was what seemed to be an advertising blitz and loads since have gone-up so things can change quickly although in this case it was about the same time Mahan Air finished, which might have helped TK.
