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
While we know L/F is only a general sign of how well a route is doing, if we are going to use it surely it should be calculated on the basis of the seats available for sale, rather than what turned up on the day?
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 sort of proves my point - L/F high, but only because of lower capacity a/c being used. So is MAN doing better than the rest or not?
