That's interesting actually. I hope they restore at least the second daily in the winter season ( the night stopper BA680/675 service ) as that flight is the most convenient for Turkish travelers.
This might be the reason. I simply wish that the x3 daily flights are not temporary.
Maybe they’re reacting to demand - but it seems odd that for 3.5 weeks they increase it To pre-pandemic levels, then drop it back to 1 a day.
With very little lead time to sell these seats ie 3-6 weeks notice (not much in ‘normal’ times) I’m not sure whether this will be profitable
. We’ll have to see how it all works out - looks like there are still many changes to come for October
