To meet the new rules, a 'capital' thread for DTV
Anyway, on with the news, July pax numbers have been officially released.
DTV managed 97847 in July 2005, up from 86831 in July 2004, a percentage rise of 13% (lucky for some ). This puts us above Isle Of Man (71413), Exeter (92401) and Bournemouth (90662), those being the closest behind us . Our next target is the 171956 set by London City! Might take a while to reach that
bmi's LHR route was up 9%, Eastern's Aberdeen was up 19% (mainly due to the introduction of J41's twice a day) with the only other domestic routes both being way up! Newquay 100% (due to no service last July) and Jersey +32%
The internationals also did well....
Alicante was down (mixed in with charter)
Amsterdam -6%
Cork +100% (new service)
Dublin -4%
Malaga was down (mixed in with charter)
Nice -100% (no service this summer )
Palma was down (mixed in with charter)
Paris CDG +100% (new service)
Rome Ciampino +100% (8527 pax, avg 137 per flight, 72.5% load factor)
Newcastle's Milan Bergamo (FR) isn't shown for some reason
Shame to see that Baby's Spanish routes were down, but I believe this is due to a reduction in frequency........come on Baby, do it properly or don't do it at all!
