They did the same for the Manchester flights too though!

What I would say though is that they very intentionally kept the Manchester TATL flights priced way above the market average for a number of months to help aid a fall off in bookings. They are at least pushing cheap fares for the A330 services at the moment, so I'd say they'd ideally like to keep these planes on these routes as I don't think they have anywhere else to put them anyway.
