LAX-LHR

lol. Did I make a typo or just not make it clear?

The 13 based a/c was meant to refer to LS, which Viscount suggested was what was required rather than the 15 mentioned elsewhere. I was trying to establish how this would compare with this summer.

There's also been variations re the MON base with figures of 10 or 12 indicated.
Whether their 4 additional routes and frequency changes require an extra a/c I'm not sure, but what impact on seats available if the B757 and A300 are gone?

I agree Moscow is disappointing. The CAA stats for November showed 3,827 pax. Assuming all flights operated at 4 x weekly, it's a minimum of 32 sectors, (34 if it operates Fri or Sat - I've not checked), so an average load of 113 or 119, not great on an A320, even though November isn't the busiest month.

ps. I'm not sure I'll still be around to see RYR with 13 a/c based!
