Dont you just love the accuracy of some of the BBC reporting. They quote bookings from the first three months of operation . Had they bothered to look at the latest published figs they would have seen for June:

Load factor represents a new monthly high.
EUjet has now flown 306,388 passengers since scheduled services began in September 2004.
Total net bookings since commencement now total 402,765.

Seems a pretty good performance to me but I guess not to the banks.

On another point does anyone know what happens to the mega amounts of money paid in advance bookings? I was told by a senior EU jet man some months back that EU didnt actually get their hands on this until the flights actually flew. If thats the case isnt it sensible to let the summer schedule fly as planned?
