Early days as the flight(s) have only just started
Well not really Ansett/NJS/Cobham have been flying that route for about 17 years so it is not as if
VB have had to build the route up from nothing. They are simply using a 104 seat aircraft instead of a 70 seat one.
however, the direct Cocos flight has had approx 90 pax on it. It has generally been above 80 pax for the round trip thus far.
Interesting. I had been told that the flights were capped at 80 pax to allow fuel and freight. Maybe I was mis-informed
