From my limited knowledge the holiday flights are all doing very well, I would be very surprised if they were suddenly stopped completely from next summer.
I am sure statistics can show loss from BFS but you can do lots of things with numbers. If you are seriously telling me that moving green 12 miles down the road meant more people went on their bucket and spades than would have done had they stayed at international then I call you a wind up merchant. If moving to city saved them so much money, why did I hear they were thinking of moving back again recently?
