Why so interesting ?
Lots of downtime between sectors at NQY. Perhaps time for an aircraft swap to allow birds to cycle through Apple at NQY ? Who have recently been looking for a Q engineer full time. ?
pus this is actually an old route, having most recently been operated by air southwest until the airline experienced problems and subsequently closed down. The figures on the route will be available to anyone who wants them. Personally I'm more surprised that BA didn't add the route as a summer seasonal on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday
