BHX

GAZMO

I make BFS-BHX 138 per flight or 88% load factor (15697 pax 114 flights).

I know it was August and most flights are full but the route is less than a year old and BHX is probably not easy's favourite airport.

Also flybe seem to be scaling back BHD-BHX with the 6 x 195 and 1 x Q400 this summer changing to at best 5 x Q400 and 2 x 175's this winter and at worse 4 x Q400 and 1 x 175 in January at times.

Re BHX-YYZ very much a live and kicking or at least squirming. Still weekly and packed for 6 months. Okay not quite the days of Wardair but better than nothing. I am not sure of the customer base now but both cities do have reasonable Sikh populations and although the market in general has always been price sensitive hopefully it will continue.

Although the 310's won't last for ever and BHX was only give the A330 for five flights this year.
