Record January pax recorded at 576544 which is 2.1% up, which would have continued into February and March except for weather and mainly
BACON cancellations.
However both months might still be up but will have to wait and see.
The individual route analysis is out for January and Emirates recorded
31462, which is 254 per flight or 81% load factor. I wonder if Qatar are
monitoring these figures since they went cool on BHX?
Generally load factors were not that bad for January with Sky Europe
managing 107 per flight on their conservative 2 a week schedule.
Cologne looks a bit weak but hopefully it will be given time.
Other good news is that two loyal BHX operators Turkmen and Uzbek
have both increased their pax in January. Air India's was a bit low but
as this is driven (sometimes) by transits it is difficult to tell how it is
doing.
Flew from BHX last weekend and a good experience &
to all working
last weekend. The only downside was an off-colour Baby crew on the return from Amsterdam who were snapping peoples heads off on a far
too frequent basis (first time I have experienced this on baby).
