Anybody know how much it brings in?
Hardly a definite and immovable object if they had to cut it drastically to save the United flight. And it isn't a case of how much it brings in but the foresight of how much more you could generate with the competition that cutting it would bring. It would allow BFS to see a share of the transatlantic pie that currently goes from the UK to a foreign country creaming US bound pax with nil taxes. Have you seen Dublins numbers lately. You think thry could sustain all those TA flights with Irish pax. Keep dreaming......
