BHX - LDY
Fly757X
Source: CAA
2014 42230 passengers, flights 335 - 126 pax average 67%
2013 52270 passengers, flights 424 - 123 pax average 65%
2012 55096 passengers, flights 418 - 132 pax - average 70%
I would say high summer 80% and winter 50-60% load factors.
Rumour has it Flybe, VLM, Stobart and BMI Regional have all looked at this in the past after Ryanair ceased and originally 3 have walked away for one reason or another.
This is a route that has potential but only with the right amount of support and hence the reluctance I believe although not totally ruled out as far as I am aware and without getting 2+2 to = 5, I suggest BMIR are more likely than Stobart and I assume Flybe would want a wad a cash from the LDY end
