I was just reading your post, I have to say there is a bit of a trend emerging. I mean most routes from on all airlines from Belfast are showing very poor loads. 50-65% type levels.

The credit crunch is some of it, but Easter 07 fell in April where as this year it was in March. Apart from that Belfast has major overcapacity as has been well documented here. Ryanair are giving the seats away and they are not getting much over 50% load.

As far as profits go I cant see that many airlines will make alot from Belfast area in the coming months!
