LH have 3 rotations canx , KL 2, SR 1 , VS 4 , and BA 36 incl 1250 LHR/BHD
and 1445BHD/LHR , so nothing to do with which Belfast airport
Bcalboy, I don't think anybody else was asking about the weather, TrueBlue had posed the statement that BA's first daily departure for start of Winter season is not until 0750...

Find that hard to believe that ba last winter only 50% full yet Willy Walsh has
stated numerous times that it is one of IAG's most profitable route and is
better than expected. Bums on seats then must be no reflection of profitability
then.


Willie Walsh said they are very happy with the performance of the BHD LHR route. My comment was that the load factor on BHD LHR (not specifically by either airlines) was 50-55% last Winter. That is based on 7 daily BA (mix of 319 & 320) and 3 daily EI 319s (some services were 320).

You can do a calculation based on those aircraft sizes and CAA stats.

Clearly loads dont mean profitability etc
