Birmingham, Arrecife, Keflavik, Lyon all remain unconfirmed for S17, EZY have made no announcement regarding these routes so I wouldn't assume either way what they are up to. In terms of numbers BE would have almost undoubtedly overtaken over summer where EZY cut right down on capacity to use it elsewhere, this may be the reason they scrap it for summer. A sun route can command over £200 return, lots of baggage, ancillary seat sales and inflight revenues compared to battling away on domestic at sometimes less than £40 return, vast majority on hand luggage and minimal buy on board on a 45 min sector. Would be a shame if it goes but if its replaced by something new, european wise then good will come out of it.
