First, they didn't operate it in winter (ski season), conceding that tourist traffic to BA,then it just died. As a twice monthly TATL traveler in those days, it was a SWU (GPU) users dream.

Other examples abound, and Greece's current politco-economic situation is certainly not helping, but full doesn't always equal profitable.
