Sorry I could not resist but if "uncovered" figures are close then it is obvious to see that BACON never had a chance: -
Month/ pax/Rotations/Avg pax/ Load Factor
April 2006 3583/ 100/ 36/ 73%
May 2006 4096/ 108/ 38/ 77%
June 2006 3786/ 103/ 37/ 75%
July 2006 4053/ 103/ 39/ 80%
Aug 2006 3498/ 107/ 33/ 67%
Sep 2006 3857/ 100/ 39/ 77%
Oct 2006 3238/ 106/ 31/ 62%
Nov 2006 2720/ 103/ 26/ 54%
Dec 2006 2375/ 77/ 31/ 63%
Jan 2007 2616/ 90/ 29/ 59%
Feb 2007 2652/ 77/ 35/ 71%
Mar 2007 3465/ 106/* 33/ 68%
All rounded up after .5 and the rotations are from the CAA Punctuality Stats but March 2007 is a guess on my part as the figures are not out.
Although there is a general decrease, February and March are not too bad. The cheapest fare on the route was about £90 I think and to turn in such a loss (if correct) just speaks volumes.
Even I am convinced that flybe can make this route pay!
I hope this is readable the preview looked awful but it is month followed by pax followed by pax per flight followed by load factor.
