I think you've missed the point befree.. the numbers quoted are passenger numbers i.e. people who've bought a ticket. In terms of capacity, it's not difficult to work out the rough number of seats available. On those load factors it was 5.844m seats last year v 6.267m seats this year. When you're talking millions of seats per month does it matter that they round to the nearest 100,000 instead of 1000? What more would you be able to glean if they told you it was 4,689,123 vs 4,503,222?
