Don’t forget a whole heap of these regional prop fights average 60-70% loads. It’s more frequency vs filling every flight to the brim, that is all factored into pricing and so on. So those seat numbers on offer are hardly what is actually flown.
The Bonza model will be chasing 90-100% seats full. Big shoes to fill considering they are only getting holiday revenue.
As a Commercial director once told me, we make our money in the last 72 hours before departure. Bonza is relying on holiday traffic that books ahead. Truly bizarre model.
