BELFAST CITY AIRPORT (BHD)
As a service I use quite regularly, I'm surprised that no one has noticed that the BE BHD-EXT flight has been brutalised down to three a week. Utterly unusable for business. Any other BE routes been suriptiously butchered?

Ambrose said a few months ago in an interview that the Vueling service was operating at a 60ish% load factor. If this were the case it would be well worth maintaining last years frequency and trying to build on the fairly good load factor. As the load factor was actually closer to 40% it is clear the airline have decided not to put too much effort into the 'soon to be pulled altogether' service. Perhaps the substantial, but undisclosed financial support was only for year 1.

mart901 if you are right, and is suspect you are, we should endeavour to find out how much support they were given and ask if the this will be repaid in light of the fact that the operation only lasted such a short time.

How did this route ever receive support? Was it not the case when the route support fund was in place before, probably 6 or 7 years ago, that support was not available on city pairs already served, such as Belfast - BCN or Belfast - AMS?
Yeah. Confirmed gone. Julian O'Neill has tweeted a statement from BHD confirming the route has been axed.
