If 62,000 is really the number of pax carried on that number of services then the loads must have been appalling. Doing the maths...assuming 4 flights a day mon-fri and 2 daily sat/sun that's 24 roundtrips or 48 sectors. Assuming a 50 week operating pattern (allowing for Xmas/Easter etc) that's 62000 / 50 = 1240 pax a week. 1240 / 48 sectors = 26 pax a flight (rounded up). Even if they all paid £68 a flight that's only £1768 each sector!!! I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did!!!
