EI BUD
I like your thinking but with
1.EZY putting on an extra flight to LGW it appears that they are not withdrawing flights as happens with FR arrival at BHD
BE is going to fight for market share.
Even if EI hits 16Kpax per month that's taking one third of BE pax and one quarter of EZY pax......can't see it some how
With BE connections at LGW with BA and their own I feel there will only be a small reduction in numbers. Likewise EZY are attacking the business market more with allocated seating etc
LHR is reducing based on caa stats. OK they had four flights last summer compared to three this summer, but BA is upping the flights to max 7 per day and I believe BA has a stronger brand image than EI. Previously BA sold many flights for EI to link with the LHR operation, even on their website they are not doing so now.
I believe the EI operation will decrease to about 16 to 17K pax per month from the current 20K
Looking forward to the November stats
