To put the numbers in
SWBKCB's post in context, here are the...
September CAA stats:
Terminal passengers: 3,199 - down 78% v prior year (by comparison, August was 2,529)- Aberdeen: 870 (v 369 in Aug and -43% v Sep 2019)
- Amsterdam: 839 (v 1,053 in Aug and -93% v Sep 2019)
- Belfast City: 395 (v 368 in Aug)
- London Heathrow: 294 (new)
- Newquay: 375 (v 630 in Aug)
- Southampton: 135 (new)
- Jersey: 174 (-55% v Sep 2019)
I reckon this makes the loads on the flights in September as follows:- Aberdeen: 11.8 pax per flight (8.8 in August & 6.3 in July)
- Amsterdam: 19.1 (21.9 in August)
- Belfast City: 9.0 (9.7 in August & 10.4 in July)
- London Heathrow: 12.5 (LCY was 4.1 in August & 5.8 in July)
- Newquay: 18.8 (28.7 in August & 17.1 in July)
- Southampton: 4.2
- Jersey: 29.0
Aberdeen picking up which is really positive, Heathrow numbers look ok so far but it is far too early to judge and Newquay continues to do well. Belfast loads are slightly down but maybe this is down to the additional Sunday rotation. Hard to judge Jersey this year with only 3 Saturday flights, assuming there were minimal pax on the initial JER-MME and on the last MME-JER, then the loads would be over 43 per flight which seems pretty good. 135 passengers on 32 flights to/from Southampton....
