I make that about a 63% loading, based on 118 passengers each flight on a 189 seater 737-800 every day. Seems like a pretty good performance to me. I'm sure HUY would be delighted with such figures.

Can't help feeling though that putting the DSA and HUY flights in direct competition won't be good for either route long term. Surely one will eventually be pulled, to be replaced by a twice daily flight from the other one.

The current lack of a return flight same day will put off business travellers, and also prevents day trips, that could be a potential market if the time between outwards and return flights is long enough.
