THe November figure looks extremely healthy, especially when compared to EDI-CWL which handled 11022 pax that month and has quite a significant amount of extra flights per month. I must say, whenever I have tried to work out the CWL-GLA loads it has been above 70%. Even over 80% for one month I'm sure.
The average load for November was 83 per flight as they operated 51 rotations. This works out at 64% loadfactor for a 737-500 operation (based on 131 seats) and 57% for a 737-300 operation (based on 148 seats).

The best performance was June with 102 pax average (78% and 69% loads respectively).

All data from the CAA website.

Flybe have now made BHD once daily so out goes the window any plans to support business pax. Flybe to expand at CWL don't make me laugh.
Maybe the problem is not so much Flybe not supporting Business passengers but the business pax not supporting BE.

Airlines are mercenary, they will not cut frequencies unless they are losing money or can make more cash utilising the aircraft elsewhere.
