"On a side note, I have to say I am surprised the STR is still around! I dont remember it being overly busy and I would be very shocked if yield was that high in turned over a profit. HAM was binned, overall DUS isnt too bad now its on the jet and the HAJ is quite often busy so I expected STR to go a long time ago myself. Something on that one must be ticking the boxes! "
The STR-route is a phenomen indeed - double daily for years and that with far fewer pax than on the HAJ routing. Having said that, the STR route has far higher fares, and has a far greater proportion of business travellers (who tend to book quite late, again, even higher fares. HAJ is a lot of army personnel&family/relatives). So STR has fewer pax, but they make up for it...
EDIT: To add to the mystery, individual rotations on the STR morning flight seem now to have disappeared for the last week of the summer schedule.
