Latest CAA stats for LDY (Dec) are now out. They don't make the best reading.

Pax numbers are down 23%, with total flights only decreasing 12%. I don't know how much of the decrease is down to diversions, but I recall about four or five days (at least) with significant disruption.

LTN traffic has risen slightly, STN is down (fewer rotations?), LPL and PIK have decreased slightly, but BHX has crashed. I take it this route, and STN was daily last winter? I can't remember off hand.

DUB has decreased 11%, and confirms the thoughts on here that without the PSO, it'd die as a viable route.

Hardly inspiring stuff if you're a new airline looking at the figures therein, but if one did look at the stats, they should take into account RYR's "scheduling" (I use the term loosely), which deters many users who prefer the better frequencies up the road.
