Despite the constant predictions of doom from GLA fanatics, one could argue that QR and EY have impacted EK at GLA as that route has shown drops in patronage every month for a while now whereas it always showed healthy growth prior to these routes starting. In saying that we only have the data up until April at the moment.
Slow and steady progress with this route IMHO. It's definitely NOT one of worst performing routes in the QR network - for those, look towards some of their US routes.
