I was thinking on the topic of further route expansion from Bfs and wondering if between Ezy and LS, we are at a stalemate at the moment. Any new routes are going to have to be somewhere like Turkey, yet I see neither being able to do that without adding an extra unit or dropping some of what they have. But is there the demand to keep an extra unit busy all week? I know that they could bring in an aircraft for part of a week, but do they need to do that if they can keep it profitability employed elsewhere? They could do a W from elsewhere, but again, do they need to do that? Just not sure where further route expansion will come from at the minute. Turkey seems like an opportunity, yet Thomson are dropping Bodrum and Tcx will be down to one a week next summer. Not that long ago, we had about 5 flights a week to Bodrum. Izmir has gone as well. Ayt and Dlm seem to be stable.
