737-500 = 130/ seats
737-300 = 148/9 seats
So equals about +13%?
I assume that by the time the -300's arrive, that they can operate unrestricted to all the current -500 destinations from Coventry's runway? I thought the -500 was selected ahead of the -300 due to runway issues? I guess that these will be resolved, otherwise will the -300 be operating at times under capacity?
By then, Coventry airport might just have some protective Controlled Airspace, thus allowing its commercial flights to avoid all the unknown FIR traffic?
