August route analysis

Well here they are and in the main very good and perhaps some routes will never see such passenger figures again such as Rome and Nice. I can't say I monitored fares that much although what I paid for Venice was quite low for peak season but the longer Monarch routes seemed to be quite high and hopefully they made a bob or two.

CAA figures used for the passengers, the rest are estimated in some instances but with the aid of a BHX blog, libhomeradar and planespotters.net.

Some figures look amazing such as the increase in Cyprus routes but the net growth was nil due to the loss in charter passengers. Dalaman was the same but actually all Turkish routes in total were down except Istanbul.

Emirates recovered slightly (smaller decrease) and less than a third were on three class 77W's.

Prague's last full month for a while went out on a high with Lisbon not far behind.

I am not sure if Berlin is still in the honeymoon period but some outstanding figures although I realise some on here have said business is light.

I wonder if EI Regional will have scope to re-time Shannon next summer and squeeze in extra Knock flights,as that is one high load factor even if it was August (a mix of 66 & 72 seats used).

Some business routes such as Brussels and Copenhagen did see some seat reductions compared to last summer but other business routes did well for August such as Paris (AMS overflow?), DUS and FRA.
