There is a growth Germany - Russia, I guess linked to migration.
However, flights I used were 15 - 65 % full. Well, I tend to book cheap
flights.

Of course no 747 but 319, 320, 737, 310, 154.

10/11 flights per day FRA - MOW (each direction), 3/4 operators.
Number of flights steadily increasing.


Plain stupid. When you have cities that far you wil only need a morning
flight (that will allow you to get the afternoon/late afternoon at the
"other end" and an evening/late afternoon fligt that will bring you back
late in the day.

1) not every one fits into your mould. Some will want a very early
departure which enables them to arrive in time to make a useful
onward connection. Others will want a mid evening return that
allows them to spend as much time at the destination but
still get home without have to resort to a taxi.

2) as many flights as can be filled are necessary - this isn't a
route for which other modes make sense

3) A plane on the ground is very expensive. It's often better
to make a marginal journey even if only partially full.


The rest is nonsense.

It's called competition.
