Don’t understand why it is being suggested to reduce frequency on Newcastle’s busiest route. LHR. (At least I think it is)
I think the numbers hold up well despite a drop in Sept. Yes there are more 319 aircraft being used. However during the winter schedule I think you will see more 320/321 aircraft being used. In addition capacity has been reduced slightly on all types with Club Europe now on that route.
Load factors remain very high.
Frequency is an important factor on this route for connections
I’m sure scrapping the 1327 and the 1335 and the inbounds would be most unwelcome.
Incidentally BA used to operate to both LGW and LHR once upon a time with A320 family and 737 aircraft up to 11 a day from NCL. Of course times have changed today.
A service to LCY would be welcome but not to the detriment of LHR.
