Hi all,

While everybody is talking of losing money, merger and so on... I was just wondering what is (are) the SNBA's most profitable route(s)? They must surely have some, no?

Regards,

Benjamin

Good question Dorfmeister

I'm looking forward to see the answers.

Two other questions:

What are SNBA's least profitable routes

How is the LGW route doing

The rumour says that African routes are very profitable...

In any case it are not always the flights with a high number of pax that are profitable!!
a copple of months ago I heard NEW was one of the destinations making money even with onliy 30 pax on board! And I think the same goes for LGW.

By "NEW" do you mean Newcastle? The code for Newcastle is NCL.

Well I think that they don't loose money in Africa, but because ther's many "tourists" it's probably not the most profitable. But then again there's the cargo on ssuch long haul which plays another revenue factor.

On the short haul I think the most profitable are the ones with the most buisness men on them, because even when in economy they pay more than tourists because they book later and different fares.

Each line is very different because you've got the ones which are flown many times a day versus the ones which are flown less. So do you look at just one return flight? one day? or at the whole week?

Personally I think that Tel Aviv must be doing great!
