August 2011
Not very good with IT and domestics blamed.
source CAA 945379 down 2% (964911)
Rolling year 8630195 -0.4%
ATM's 7984 -2.6% - rolling year 84477 -2.9%
Long-haul also took a hit due to Ramadan with PIA down a staggering
29%, Manchester lost 23% on their route but Heathrow was up.
Emirates was down but still managed a load factor of 82% due to many
three class aircraft operating.
Newark was down but at least four rotations were lost.
Turkmenistan way up despite using some 738's, which shows how Mahan
Air have been missed.
Turkish had its best month I believe up about a 1000 and there were five Tuesdays and Wednesdays in the month which are days it does not operate. Averaged 130 pax about 79% on 13 x A320's, 1 x A319, 1 x 738 and 6 x 321's.
Brussels was up 35% despite it dropping from 5 daily to three in the week and one of those was a Q400, which saw the load factor at 56% rather than the 40-50% in past years.
Frankfurt (down 6%) was as much disappointing (despite the BE loss) as was the Munich pleasing (up 35%).
Most city routes were up though including CPH, ZRH, AMS, DUS, HAJ, DUB and MXP with CDG slightly down and STR.
