Well then that means average loadings on LDY-DUB for the past year are 32% down from 36% a year ago which doesn't sound too bad a reduction if you're prepared to ignore the fact that both are rubbish.

OK, so Ryanair has average loadings of 84%, but Ryanair's business model is clearly to pack the plane even if some seats are 1p. Aer Aranns model is presumably different, so what is an acceptable loading to the likes of Aer Arann.

BHD-ORK was only 50% before the credit crunch. Are they happy with that?

Mind you, Loganair was usually only half full and they operated for 30 years.

Is there any hope the DUB route will continue after the PSO ends? Is there even a sliver of a chance of a new Irish route? DUB only ever carried 26,000 at it's 2x daily peak, is a 1x daily to ORK even possible?
