Your link needs fixing HOBAY but other than that as usual those in planning don't notice when the holidays are on and forget to adjust the schedule. At a time when all the carriers are crying poor you think they could find a plane for an extra return a day.

So is profit.
100% seat factor in bound at the start of an event, and 100% outbound at the end, is a 50% seat factor. And the punters hate fares based on 50% seat factors.
So it's about squeezing capacity out of downtime or foregone maintenance.
Not, perhaps rocket science, but commercially sound.

I will be looking forward to seeing how the various airlines increase capacity to Hobart for the upcoming peak season. The Hobart CEO is on record stating that discussions with airlines about Hobart-Gold Coast and Hobart-Newcastle services were underway earlier in the year. I wonder if either will eventuate?
