EZY load factor still isnt above 60% most days though
Hi IOMSPOTTER ,5000 in 1 month is not as bad as it seems given that the sector is so short and it can be used as a nice filler between longer sectors during the day by the airline, so fair enough to say that given the short sector time they wont be as worried about fixed operating costs ie aircraft capital costs, when judging the success of this route. I cant see them axing it.
I would however suggest if they want to seriously get after the market as a challenge to Flybe they need to step up to x2 daily and perhaps 3 on some of the days.
In September I note that the total passengers flown on LPL IOM were 13333 so if EZY carried 5000 (where is this info from ie 5000?) they got a great share of the cake with only a daily flight so I would again believe getting an extra daily flight on the route and appealing to the business traveller could be just the trick.
What do you think?
