Hmmmm I was quite surprised to see this service announced in the first place.Infact I would have been surprised to see them launcing any flight from UK/Ireland other than MAN and LHR.Do you think loads a re low and they are having second thoughts?

There is scope for people using this route. I agree with article about booking problems - their system denied they actually had the route!

Cant see a reason why put back but ill ask around at BFS. MontyP should be able to tell us!

Both PIK and BFS were put back at least a month due to aircraft shortages from what I've read.

The MAN service has had stunning 50% loads or less! Hence the reason why the service will go via PIK one day and BFS the other.

I'm not quite sure why they wanted to launch in winter, just after Christmas etc, but I'm sure they'll be a success ?
