As I've said on this site many times. Load factor means absolutely nothing. Yield per passenger (not just ticket price) is what counts. The other problem is that "seasonal" has become the new dirty word. MOL is apparently fed up of parking up 100 aircraft a winter so commercial have been told to find bases and routes that are more year round in nature. The search for these year round airports and routes is on and brs is one of the "seasonal" places that is not part of the new plan at the moment especially as the new deal makes it more viable to fly into brs at off peak times from foreign bases rather than to base aircraft that must depart and arrive at peak times. Hence the reduction in based aircraft to 2 and the lack of any new experimental "seasonal" routes.
