Good comments Shamrock
Difficulty I see is that with operating LGW from BHD (90 flights) per month there is naturally a oversupply on the London market. Figures for LHR were they compete with BA are down compared to the previous year (exceptDec)
Sun routes will always do well in July and August, but the summer season starts late March to late October so outside the peak months it may be difficult to achieve yields and LF
In peak season BFS has 16 flights to Palma and BHD has 2 with EI.
During their venture into NI, whether at BFS or BHD I feel they have not analysised the market. Started in BFS with two daily flights to AMS, reduced then to one with the other flight to CDG.....both dropped. Budapest dropped, Rome dropped, Milan dropped, Munich dropped....the list goes on.
I, like others would be very interested on their yields to LGW at BHD. Personally I cannot see them as being good.
Although they probably have a good deal at BHD at the moment they will probably fine that in the long run they made a mistake.....yet again
