Also, the success of the route is going to depend on winning both leisure and business traffic. It shouldn't be too hard to sell leisure seats at promo fares well in advance of travel - the real test will be whether they can win enough of the higher-yield late-booking business passengers away from EI (and to some extent FR). I wish them well, but ultimately only time will tell.
