BHD2BFS I am not entirely sure, I would guess with new capacity coming to the market, i.e. EZY to SEN (not a major reason), coupled potentially with lower than expected yield perhaps they figured better to do x3 daily and get good ticket prices than do 4 and have to sacrifice on yield to fill aircraft. The other issue is that with the lack of a 4th LHR rotation it means that one of the aircraft operating European routes can get away earlier to BCN and ALC, the resultant being to the schedule that these flights get back at 2105 and 2150 on the respective nights instead of 2350 sort of time. Perhaps they feel that having a not so late arrival back to BFS may be more attractive than a later one. Not entirely sure to be honest. Just what I can interpret!
