I am also curious about the load factors not just for BA, but for Virgin Atlantic operation in Pakistan, if BA drops Lahore, I hope Virgin increase it's flight to Lahore.baberblues wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 11:28 pm I believe it is normal for airlines to consistently tweak their schedules before releasing and finalising their summer schedules.
It does looks like BA are dithering on whether to keep the route open or not. One minute its running the next the plug is being pulled. BA either need to reduce the amount of flights from 4 flights a week or quit the route. On yesterdays flight (11/01/21) there were 193 passengers to Lahore. I would like to see if anyone has an knowledge on the load factors and yields for the lahore flights so far.
Also, BA really needs to improve UK regional connectivity to Lahore as well, from Scotland, Newcastle, Manchester and a few other US/European destinations to make the flight work.
Could we ever see a LHE/KHI combination? LHR-KHI-LHE-LHR? unlikely.

Fantastic news, would seem bizarre to cut off LHE at the moment in time where flights will be going fuller over the holidays.

Re: British Airways Cutting Lahore in Summer 2021
its been a year or so since we had operations of the BA route to Lahore. How have the flights been so far? What has the load factor been for these flights? and has Virgin been able to compete?
