Bhd Iom Bhd. CAA stats report decrease of 60 percent for July 17 as opposed to July 16. Average pax load 14. Less on the through flight Ncl Iom Bhd. Average pax Ncl Bhd 5. Bet easyJet are really really worried. NOT.

Eastern operate BHD-IOM five times a week, whereas Citywing operated multiple daily flights. Passenger numbers would obviously fall with a reduced service.

There would be less on BHD-NCL because on the BHD-IOM sector there were passengers getting off at IOM, and others getting on for IOM-NCL. This is the issue that the new schedule has resolved.

In 2016 BHD-IOM pax numbers were 23,424 and BHD-NCL was 24,335 in 2015 when Flybe operated the route (plus over 250,000 using easyJet). In 2016 only 4,149 used IOM-NCL. If I was Eastern and looking at those figures, I know exactly what two routes I would want to be non stop.

In July BHD-NCL was via IOM, which was a disincentive to use the service.

I see that someone at BA needs a geography lesson...
