EI at BHD

It will be interesting to see the number on EI flights to LHR and LGW from end of this month. I have always believed EI made wrong choice moving to BHD

As I have previously posted on other threads EZY has 32K pax per month and BE 24K pax per month on average to LGW. Assuming there will be little change in which London airport EI would have to "pinch" one third of BE passengers and one quarter of EZY pax, and even with that it would only give them 16kpax per month. I am sure someone can work out the load factors on this

EZY now going a fifth flight to LGW from 20th Dec and BE will fight to maintain market share

Regarding LHR BA numbers are on the up and EI are going down, see caa stats

however I would be keen to hear from someone at EI who knows about the advanced bookings, either post here on on BFS/BHD thread
