I flew Bhd - Bhx on a Wednesday about 3 weeks ago. I counted the number boarding the morning flight to Ema on WW as I waited, about 30. I wondered how that would pay and when you look at the pax numbers above, how many of those flights made money, maybe 2?. WW was losing lots of money and it would be very foolish to believe that the Bhd routes were profitable, but all the money was being lost on ops out of the mainland.
I read just recently that Flybe are going 7 daily to Bhx on the E195. On my 7am departure, the E195 was about 60% full. I came back about 2.30 on a dash, it was only about 40% full, so little need for a 195 on that flight. So how long will the 7 a day last, especially when Ezy start taking pax away?
