They would need a 3rd aircraft based and lets be honest marginal UK routes don't make business sense.
2 aircraft and sustainable routes =good
Agree but can always find gaps - short sectors and proven routes if they have volume targets these would be easy wins
Chasing the numbers game is sometimes foolish.
Marginal routes are part of the cause of the problem the last time.
Learn from past mistakes and move on.
ATR 42/72 is 50/70 passengers.
Marginal route 35/50 passengers.
RYR B738 holds 180.
Its idea of a marginal route would be 100+.
Different ballgame entirely.
Passenger numbers is not the only metric, the yield from the number of passengers is more important.
I only gave the above numbers for illustration of the differences in the aircraft types.
RYR is not always the solution but the availability of smaller turboprops for the kind of marginal routes we are talking about is limited.
