Interestingly, scheduling data indicates that the route will remain operational until March of the following year, although adjustments may occur later.
During June, July, and August, the route will operate four times a week, with each direction offering 4,743 seats in June and August. In July, benefiting from a carryover from June, and in August, due to fewer flights aligning with the calendar, there will be 5,301 available seats for booking.
