easyJet Geneva
Ahead of the first Geneva ski flights this weekend, I thought I'd post some analysis I did of last years SOU and BOH GVA passenger figures just for interest really and because I love statistics! Data from the CAA website and other airport sources. I posted this on the Bournemouth thread at the end of the last winter season but didn't get any responses, maybe people here will find it more interesting.
Winter 16/17
SOU 5858 pax on Flybe (15% market share)
BOH 33273 pax on easy (85% market share)
Total pax 39131
Winter 17/18
SOU Flybe 7083 (21% increase on 16/17, 35% of SOU-GVA pax)
SOU easy 13314 (65% of SOU-GVA pax)
SOU overall 20397 (348% increase on 17/18, 40% market share)
BOH 28986 (13% decrease on 16/17, 60% market share)
Total pax 49383 (26% increase on 16/17)
Looking at the numbers, the impression I get is that easyJet have expanded the overall south coast to Geneva market by opening up a route from SOU, and increased demand without cannibalising their Bournemouth route. Flybe also saw healthy growth in their pax numbers from one year to the next. BOH saw a decrease in passengers and market share, but not really a huge one.
It will be interesting to see how the figures look at the end of this winter season.
