MAN-EWR
CCGE29
I assume an attempt at humour?
Figures from the CAA.
July pax 8557 average 138 pax 82% load factor peak season the equivalent of 31 empty seats on every single flight every single day.
June pax 8109 average 135 - 80% equivalent of 35 empty seats on every flight
May pax 7694 average 124 - 73% equivalent of 45 empty seats on every flight
April pax 7672 average 132 - 78% equivalent of 36 empty seats on every flight
16 business first seats and quote "One of the best yielding routes across the Atlantic for UA " - remarkable.
The only positive aspect is that the 2017 figures are actually better than 2016 which were dire but there again IAD was operating last year.
I would worry or have total faith that yield is mega as BHX had better load factors for 3 of the months quoted above (fewer flights) and look at BHX's next years United schedule............oh yes there isn't one but as the poster said MAN-EWR is one of the most profitable!
With a fairly old 757 on the route and only 16 BF seats I think a bit of realism is needed although I would be surprised if the route disappeared.
