Dubai averaged 300 pax per flight at 78% load factor - 34 sectors by 360 seat aircraft, 20 sectors by 428 seat aircraft and 6 sectors by 354 seat aircraft using planespotters.net for configuration and FR24 for registrations

BHX, GLA and MAN were all similar load factors with MAN and BHX also seeing capacity downgrades at times.

Glasgow averaged 274 pax - 76% based on 360 seats, Edinburgh 239 per flight or 67% based on 360 seats but possibly some 354 seat operated (at least one).

Stansted out of interest averaged 277 per flight and again in that same bracket 78% load factor which I suppose indicates something to do with yield management/fares.

Manchester had the highest load factor outside of London, at least 81% but that was only due to the volume of capacity downgrades on EK21 especially.

This is based on all services operating and the accuracy of FR24 and planespotters.net.
