GCI-SOU is a strange one as the total passenger numbers on the route are through the roof, but as you say Aurigny's loads that I've seen haven't been brilliant, especially over the winter. Blue Islands though seem to be flying fuller than ever. It's almost like demand has been stimulated by having two carriers on the route but only one of them is actually benefitting. Maybe it's the fact that everyone appears to associate SOU with Flybe and books through them automatically? That wouldn't explain the big jump in numbers since Aurigny came onto the route though...
