Flight International - Titan to acquire all premium A318 from BA
There is an interesting article on the reducing load factor on this service in this weeks Flight International as well. It stated that the non stop return sector was more popular than the outbound due to the stop in SNN and that loads on the outbound leg were around half full in the months prior to the axing of one of the two schedules. The loads seem have steadily declined since the route started.

Both A318s are still active, they seem to do alternate months on the single rotation.
I've probably witnessed many hundreds of touchdowns at LCY by various types (including a couple by my long-ago PPL instructor !) and in various conditions, they all seem to come straight down the line. We probably have more go-arounds than places elsewhere, but it's all a straightforward operation.
As a result the afternoon service did not have the same appeal
