Last January the easyJet average was 117 per flight, and the Flybe average was 70 per flight.
Flybe appear to be feeling the effects of the competition now as their loads are considerably lower this season.
No BOH figures for comparison yet, but their January average last year was 122 per flight.
For info, this January SEN averaged 114 per flight based on flightaware and CAA data. Other airports ranged from mid 130s to low 140s.
Thanks for confirming. So not too shabby at all considering it’s only in its second year of operating. More than the darling of UK aviation sector in SEN. I can see it continuing to grow and take passengers of Flybe and BOH. A bit of marketing wouldn’t harm, was speeding to someone the other day who flew their whole family on Easy to Geneva but via LGW. Had no idea they flew from SOU.
