Credits: CAA for the actual passenger figures, Flight radar 24 for the rotations (from my paid subscription) and various sites for configs to get an idea of load factors,
Some good figures and some bad plus many average. Amsterdam over 60000 on 11 daily weekday flights but this drops to 10 in summer when flybe reduce to 5 and KLM add one to five but one less than last summer but mainline operates lunchtime for part of the season.
Vienna includes the Jet2 few flights and pleasing to see Turkish and PIA up. Fewer Air India pax as it is now 6 a week but a decent load factor. Flybe are similar load factors to 2017 with Qatar and Dubai down as they were like for like in terms of rotations. Obviously load factors are subjective as a lot of airlines with two class configurations will not sell 100% of the aircraft keeping the middle seat free in business.
