Its all about numbers.
An Airline will not start up a route or continue a route when the PAX number will not support it.
Clearly you have no understanding of this concept and feel airlines should operate wherever, regardless of pax number.
If you were an airline CEO Danairboy, your airline would never make it past a month old. Over expanding your routes and developing huge overheads with free meals and sweets.
Agreed 100%. People have to remember that BA was privatised well before other European carriers, so the notion of flying to former colonies went out of the window a long time ago.
Two more points:
(i) SNBA flies to the likes of Kigali and Kinshasa on a weekly or twice weekly basis. BA prefer more regular frequencies to achieve better economies of scale;
(ii) If a UK passenger wanted to fly to Lima or Kigali, it would be possible to do so via Madrid or Brussels. In the same manner, if a Spanish or Belgian passenger wanted to fly to Sydney he’d more than likely have to fly via London or Frankfurt.
