In reference to the long haul load factor I believe the major dive is in flights going east. Those going west are doing well and are at least pushing the average load factor up. The pinch is hitting the American market and the Yanks don't seem to be travelling. With the dollar at an all high against the euro it won't get much better for the forseeable. It's the summer load factor that may create the real picture of the economic downturn in America. Suspect it's not just EI that are suffering. Has anyone any details of load factors on any of the UK and American carriers coming east?
