Quite a few increases to existing routes, and Marrakesh being served from both Heathrow and Gatwick? I find that surprising.

Iberia is a basketcase, apparently their shorthaul network looses hundreds of millions of euros a year and wipes out their profits from their lucrative longhaul network. Hopefully Iberia Express can launch more UK services.

FD.
Apparently it's a good performing route due to the lack of competition, but we will just have to wait and see.
Aswell as ADD leaving the network prematurley (before the end of the summer 2012 season) it seems like BMI have stopped flying to Damascus, although that makes sense given the situation there at the moment.
