LCC's need Loads of around 85%+ to be viable, so 65-70% is pretty poor, but lets not forget it's still a new market, and Year 1 of a new route is mainly to get awareness/ establishment in place. By Year 2 when the 80's and 90's start to come in, thats where the money starts coming in

Maybe I'm naive but wouldn't it be better to schedule upgrades like that in the winter...? Plus the disruption of staff training etc.

Such as on winter Wednesdays with fewer than 70 movements?

It can't be done incrementally like that. It can't be left until winter because the upgrade is mandated and on a deadline. They have to get both done this year so this one being done asap before the second in late autumn. I understand it was planned for earlier in the year but there were some set backs that pushed it into May/June.

Obviously not ideal but when needs must...

I see G-IFIT PA31 was in today from Leeds from 0900 to 1700.
I think it belongs to Dart Group who owns Jet2?
Sometimes the aircraft is used for Jet2 engineers but none of the based aircraft had any problems today i think.
Could it be that Jet2 management was at BFS today working on another expansion with BFS management for Summer 2019?

That's not what it's saying, it's cumulative over the 3 airports in Northern Ireland over the years mentioned

It also positions crews when schedules don't otherwise align, and moves spare parts around. I'm surprised they haven't upgraded to a turboprop given that Avgas must be fairly rare at some of their destinations.

Any reason why a split load on a 787 wouldn't work, could be wrong but didn't EI used to do something similar in the leased MD-11

yes it would work, but that was 15 or so years ago, a lot has changed since then, the schedule they have is pants for buisness flyers, the money makers. Holiday flights have no big premiums with airlines, the business travellers are the money tickets
