Aberdeen is doing really well with average loads of 23.8 and this is the best single operator month on the route since March 2016. Belfast was down a bit but this is more down to fewer rotations than anything else. 26 passengers on the Newquay flight is probably as high as it is going to go given that there is only 1 flight a week which rules out anyone who wants to go for a long weekend break. Jersey is
Amsterdam loads of 61.4 would still have been decent in pre-covid times good but the schedule is still only around 50% of what is was in 2019. Bourgas was poor at 802 passengers, especially as I reckon there were 12 rotations in June and speculation is that holidaymakers concerned about travel to the area given the proximity to the situation in Ukraine. Overall passengers on Alicante were down sightly due to fewer rotations but loads on that route(174), Corfu (141), Faro (160) and Palma (160) are all the best since Ryanair returned to Teesside. TUI appear to have done better than Ryanair on Palma with loads of 186 which implies only 3 spare seats on every flight and must be encouraging for next year.
