Cabincrewe, as it says above, the decline in August was primarily due to the, I guess unavoidable, use of the smaller aircraft which has nearly 70 fewer economy seats on a significant number of flights (i.e. 27% fewer). I predict we will see some growth return in September and given last September seat factor was just over 85% on the route, that will be a good performance. Emirates can still achieve significant growth at Newcastle and grow the total market, they now need to deploy the 777 to achieve this and one day this will happen.
