JetBlue's accounts show a CASM for their mostly A320 fleet at just under $0.10 / mile. That will vary a little according to flight length, landing fees and the fact the B6 deliberately cut the no. of seats to 150 so they could fly with only 3 flight attendants. All those will push BA's costs up a little for the relatively short 330 miles LHR-EDI, but they still point to a number closer to £6,000 than £60,000!
