and we all know that TOM don’t continue with routes where they don’t make money.

They do when someone underwrites the costs of these flights to ensure they are not an embarrassing failure. Would’nt have looked good for Peel if these flights terminated early or after their first year. Noticed that some long haul flights were on sale in the high season on some occasions at less than £50. They were even on offer at £12.99! (plus tax and fuel surcharge of course). The two remaining flights for next year appear to be starting later towards the end of May, also. which means the early take up was probably low in yield this year.
