That is the problem with a small operator starting a previously unserved route. In its first season unless they have the finance to promote and market it sufficiently beforehand it will struggle. I suspect very few of the passengers were of UK domicile as they simply wouldn't have found the route unless they entered 'Chateauroux' in an online travel portal and that they would be unlikely to do unless that small city was their specific destination.
