Indeed, which is why they've scaled back on most of their summer 'sun' routes for the winter. Only Malaga will be flown daily. ALC & BCN 4 x weekly and PMI just 1 x weekly. NCE and BGY are likely to be suspended for the winter.

New services to FAO, PRG and GVA will take up some of the capacity that these reductions make available, but not all. What remains unknown at the moment is if / how they intend to fill the void. There is a school of thought that suggests they picked up their machines so cheaply from the Ansett receivers, that come mid-week in February, the most cost effective thing to do is to do nothing. Equally, some circles suggest they'll launch routes to BFS, TFS amongst others, which should work well in the winter.
