Cologne
I must admit I feared for the Cologne after a bad start to the year but I wonder if it has been aided by the BACON saga?
BACON were flying 4 a day to DUS, which is the same as flybe now but two were RJ100's which is over 240 seats a day less (Monday - Friday).
Dusseldorf was down (10699), still plenty of empty seats but I bet
a few leisure pax changed to the Cologne.
Out of interest Norwegian carried 1099 pax to Warsaw at about 69 per flight which is not too bad but I am sure they will be looking for at least 100 in the coming months.
SkyEurope managed 2205 pax to Krakow at an average of 123 - time for a third rotation?
Flybe's old French routes continued to nosedive but many were reduced
to the 145 so showed slightly better load factors.
Emirates was up to 29060 or 242 a flight which was a nice surprise after hearing of some dire individual loads at times during the month. This is a load factor of about 78%!
Newark was slightly down but still averaged 159!
Domestics were dire with the massive decrease in Edinburgh (down 9000) but Aberdeen and Glasgow performed well. Glasgow had one less rotation a day and the 195 was moved to the Edinburgh.
