May route analysis - Credit CAA for the passenger figures, FR24 for rotations therefore there might be some errors and various seat-map websites for load factor and again these vary so not 100% accurate.
I don't think Emirates has been 70% plus in May very often and slightly disappointing Qatar didn't pick up more passengers. Air India reflects the lack of seats. No change with Vienna and Agadir but Flybe continue to operate as if nothing happened. Cut Zante and Stockholm off but the latter never operated and Zante was 171 average pax and 82& load factor

Wow those loads on the Wizz Air routes to eastern Europe, are very impressive! Not a single route under 89% load factor and most well over 90%!
Especially considering Wizz run a relatively small operation at BHX, and probably not so well known there, and that the catchment overlaps with LTN in areas like Northamptonshire.
The loads on Qatar Airways are disappointing considering the route is quite well established now. Running an efficient 787-8 on the route probably allows it to work profitably, but that route could be questionable if fuel costs were to increase.
