I was running a Bahrain-Baghdad-Bahrain Service that was running with good loads to BGH but almost a completely empty aircraft on the way back to BAH. So I decided to route the aircraft via Basra, under the assumption that I would simply pick up more passengers in Basra. Now on my aircraft’s flight page I see Baghdad-Basra and Basra-Bahrain as two separate flights.
How does the via system work? is it two separate flights i.e. one from Baghdad-Basra and then a completely separate flight from Basra to Bahrain or do passengers from Baghdad stay on board at Basra as more pax join and then from there continue to Bahrain? I don’t know how this function works.
