October didn't do too badly, on about 7,500 pax (which is, I think, an average of about 55 pax per flight), but November is pretty horrid at a provisional number of 4,764. I'm sure December would have been difficult too.
Hello B_T,
Bearing in mind the reduction in rotations for the winter with virtually nothing at weekends (there were five weekends in November that skewed the total figures adversely) the average load was still around 42-43. Nothing to shout from the rooftops of course but could have been worse in these economic dark days.
December was better with 6,190.
Incidentally, did you see the piece on the BRS website saying that during the first six months of the route passengers from Bristol made onward connections to every one of LH's worldwide destinations of which last summer there were 200 in 79 countries outside the UK and Ireland?
The top 30 onward destinations from Bristol included Munich, Vienna, Rome, Zurich, Cairo, Cape Town, Gdansk, Beijing and Bangalore.
Let's hope this shows the potential that exists to feed into LH's long haul on a growing basis.
