think the speculation about EK is really funny, none of you have a clue about the load short of the actual load factor. BHX is constantly in the top 10 yielding routes in the EK system (normally in the top 4).
Fighting talk, and somewhat condescending.
Having been involved in yield management and long scrutinised the performance of competing carriers on various routes, I find it very difficult to believe that BHX has ever been in the top 4 of EK's top yielding routes. Just don't believe it. It sounds like the old spotter's claim that BA's MAN/JFK was the most profitable on the network.
Unless of course you can provide some concrete evidence......?
EK is a success at Brum, but let's not over egg the Christmas pudding
