And even with all that.. QR up significantly!
Dubai - 13341 - 58 sectors = 230 per flight and 64% load factor per my calculations using FR24 for number of flights and 360 three-class aircraft although some 354 seat did operate. Unless I have my figures wrong I would not say amazing? I would say 90% load factor is amazing 75-90% would be good and 60-75% average but I suppose for the first month it isn't bad but amazing is generous.
Qatar just made 70% load factor which is okay especially when compared to BHX, CWL and MAN.
