Kestrel 909, quoting May's figures for LDY is a bit misleading. You may or may not recall the airport was SHUT for a long weekend, with ALL flights canx!!
Perhaps July's figures would be a better comparison (ref CAA)
:
STN-LDY 14896 +3%
LIV-LDY 7523 +4%
EMA-LDY 6523 +5%
PIK-LDY 5992 no previous comparison
GLA-LDY 1014 -43%
Now, considering the 141 pax limit on the 737-800, that gives loads well into the mid-80s precentage for LIV and STN, and not far off that for EMA. PIK is a new route, and one that surprised me when it was announced.
In future, perhaps you could be more up to date with stats!!
