If a ticket in the UK market would normally sell at GBP500 and they would put it in a sale for GBP400, that means with the current exchange rate (although the last two days the pound climbed again) they would get only about EUR440 for those GBP400. Better put it in a Euro-market as there is more money to be made. The pounds KLM earns in the UK are worth a lot less these day, so less of an attractive market now?
