In May I used the capacity for the scheduled aircraft and not the replacement. I have no idea if they have taken advantage of the extra seats on Air Finland although that might be coming to an abrupt end if airlineroute is correct.

To be honest I do the same for the flybe figures as they chop and change fro the Q400/175/195.

Nigel - Sounds far too sensible but fingers crossed and I am sure it will help a little

Ringwayman I for one never believed that re Air India. Even less so after last weeks quote that 80% of AI's losses came from a handful of routes all of which were long-haul including Delhi - Toronto, which morphed from the DEL-ATQ-BHX-YYZ.

I know you have to treat anything with a pinch of salt from press releases but this is an airline that has 777's sitting around and if ATQ-BHX was so profitable it would have re-started ages ago. We know the market is there but as many have said not a very profitable one although with India, never say never.
