Just some statistics from BLK. Difference between Dec 05 and Dec 06. Enjoy!
BLK - DUB___ 06=6,599___05=7,218___-9%
BLK - AMS ___06=2,165___05=0,000___+100%
BLK - FAO ___06=1,489___05=0,000___+100%
BLK - ALC ___06= 2,755___05=1,791___+54%*
BLK - GRO ___06=3, 549___05=6,208___-43%^
BLK - AGP ___06=0,000___05=4,474___-100%'
BLK - TFS ___06=2,712___05=1,351___+101%
(Better load factor than LPL)
BLK - PRG ___06= 2,929___05=242___+1,131%
BLK - STN ___06=8,470___05=10,227___-17%
BLK - BFS ___06=3,497___05=2,318___+51%
BLK - BHD ___06=144___05=351___-59%
BLK - IOM ___06=1,622___05=1,017___+59%
Total pax___06=35,931___05=35,197
I can see that the passenger numbers have dropped on all of the FR routes. The GRO route has obviously dropped because of the frquency drop. STN still fighting against the trains, and DUB can be losing to the Seacat, surely?!
LS are really bringing out the flavours in BLK! The TFS route was performing fantastically with an average of 77% load for the month (169 pax per flight!)
Manx2 have also really freshened up the BLK-IOM route!
This can only look good for S07!
*Breakdown:
TOM=929 (06) compared to 1,791 (05). LS carried double TOM on the route during December, having two weekly flights, compared to TOM's one. Shows that loads are about equal.
^Reduction in frequency between 05 and 06 from daily to 4 times weekly. Return to daily later this month.
'Cancellation of ZB's daily AGP flight, but will return later this month with LS five-times weekly.
*NOTE* All routes include passengers both departing to and arriving from in the month of December in both 2006 and 2005 respectively.
