Yet again amazing figures for these flights. No matter how you look at it Emirates are absolutely smashing with this service. I believe most flights are full of cargo as well.
The configurations for these planes are...
EK33/34 6F 42B 306E. 354 total
EK2634/2644 42B 386E. 428 total
Highly appropriate with the talk of the second service starting as the provisional figures for January show Stansted 17386 which is an average of 272 per flight and load factor of 78% and considering some of the loads quoted above it would indicate plenty of seats available later in the month.
I believe the number of rotations was 64 as an extra operated on 3/1/19 and the usual aircraft is 354 seats (2 class on the extra) not 360 like EDI & GLA. November was 73% and October 74% giving average load factors in three of the last four months although September was incredible (90%). Therefore do we assume forward bookings are brilliant or yields are better than the established Emirate services in the UK?
I remember Manchester was pushing regular 90% plus load factors for months on end (dropped a little recently) and all they got was an a change from 517 to 615 seats on the morning service. Although I suppose you could turn that around and say it proves that Emirates know exactly what they are doing as they resisted the temptation to add the 4th service and loads have settled at around 80-90%.
Point of note on Emirates in January they were all very similar in the regions 77-81% so across aboard they were average.
