FYI, MUC yields to DEL is 23% higher versus MXP but MXP-BOM is higher yielding versus MUC-BOM.
Now having looked at annual market sizes to/from USA to Milan, Brussels and Munich, I am quite amazed to see that BRU beats MIA royally
BRU-NYC...301,000
BRU-ORD...39,000
BRU-IAD...50,000
BRU-IAH...11,000
BRU-MIA...53,000
BRU-SFO...57,000
BRU-LAX...69,000
MXP-NYC...287,000
MXP-ORD...25,000
MXP-IAD...10,000
MXP-IAH...7,500
MXP-MIA...85,000
MXP-SFO...39,000
MXP-LAX...46,000
MUC-NYC...199,000
MUC-ORD...70,000
MUC-IAD...60,000
MUC-IAH...12,000
MUC-MIA...51,000
MUC-SFO...64,000
MUC-LAX...78,000
Yield on BRU-USA is also on average about 20% higher versus MUC !
Still cant get over how high BRU-California and BRU-MIA market sizes are !!!
Conclusion is...9W stick with BRU and develop it more and more
