I'd take the train spotter and the Spartan general of the other bunch of clowns every day of the week. I'm sure there are plenty in the old land dunnunda that would agree. Too many of their commercial predecessors have been too weak or too preoccupied with other agendas to make the baby a man, and the new foster parents did little to help. Blame the parents not the sitters.

It will operate 2x weekly on Mondays (Dep 08:10) and Fridays (Dep 13:05)
You probably know, bmibaby have worked closely with Thomas Cook for a number of years now, mainly selling a percentage of seats on certain days on flights to and from Alicante, Malaga and Palma. This was originally the plan so that TCX aircraft could expand and open up routes to longer sector destinations like Turkey etc.

Quote from westernpeople July 2010
Commenting on the news, Joe Gilmore, managing director, Ireland West Airport Knock said: “We are delighted to welcome bmibaby’s 800,000th passenger through Ireland West Airport Knock. I'm delighted to welcome the managing director of bmibaby, Julian Carr, to the airport to celebrate this milestone achievement. "We have enjoyed a great relationship over the past six years with bmibaby and their services to both Manchester and Birmingham have proved hugely popular with people both in this region and in the UK and we look forward to further passenger growth and to expanding our route network with bmibaby in the coming years ”
What happen since as manchester is gone and what about birmingham is it going be the same?

From the bmibaby website;
It seems they are very pleased with this service contrary to some posters on here... Then again I guess has been posted from the bmi group

They seem to be awfully round numbers for a 6 month report. Even so using basic arithmetic, it is giving approx 70% load factors. This doesn't tie in with the number of pax I am hearing are actually flying the route.
More importantly, to justify the investment in the route, what is the yield?
Is it eating into the competition's pax numbers at all, like errrm bmi mainline to LHR....

As for yield, well as with pretty much any airline we are probably never going to know this information. However for them to carry the route on they must be achieving a set target to make it viable.

I've seen the odd day were the baby STN has more passengers booked than mainline LHR. AMS has quite low figures 30-40 at the start of the week i.e. Mon , Tues , Wed this can rise to 60-70 Fri when it is weekenders going for away for a few nights break.

Let's not forget that the reason baby started STN was because they were told to do so by WPS. He saw it as part of a strategic bmi view - most probably because he wanted to start weaning the Mainline pax in prep for a Mainline departure from BHD. This obviously didn't happen due to all sorts of reasons.
But BHD is making a significant contribution towards the baby purse!

Aer Lingus could have made a daily flight to AMS work if it was well established, unfortunately, the demand on the route was soft and at best they would be able to get half of the numbers and that was some way off. WW have the same challenge now, a limited market that is profitable on a daily basis or maybe 9 per week (as per EZY current schedule). I cant comment on yield but I would guess that EZY are not losing money on the route but WW with the low fares that seem to be available coupled with less fuel effecient aircraft and use of major airport like AMS, can be a lot in it for them.
EZY has an earlier flight today also on AMS BFS but not sure of the numbers.
I dont think that 60k have been carried on BHD STN Ytd the first 2 months were well below 10k pax each.
