Centralwings/January Pax

Centralwings

Krakow has been bookable for a couple of months but I just tried
(not very hard)to find some press releases and nothing.

It is bookable on their site but I could not find a press centre link (I am
sure there is one) and I couldn't find a bhx press release but could be
wrong though.

January Pax Figures

These are a horror story in their own right despite the economic
warnings in the press and the usual post Christmas blues.

One stat which taken on its own is probably not very representative
but still interesting. Baby had 5 based aircraft in January 2007 but 7 in
2008. If one 735 did (and most days it did) six sectors a day and one
733 four sectors (sometimes 6) that equates to over 40000 extra pax
(potentially). IT's lost 10000 and some capacity went due to BACON
but there must have been some very empty aircraft in January (I am
sure not just Baby).

No wonder Babys 2008 summer schedule is quite tame but probably
just as well if things do take an even bigger turn for the worse.

A better comparison of the baby figures will be via the CAA punctuality
stats but January 2008 won't be out for while although the route
analysis will be this week or next.
