Disappointing but the finger is being pointed at charter pax
and I have never known so many IT flights end early with
only Rhodes bucking the trend.
In fact most scheduled business routes were up and leisure
was okay in general.
Turkish Airlines is the big plus at +41% 5649 average 123 nearly 80%.
Hamburg was down 29%, Dubai 6% and Paris 10% due to the
reduced rotations. Newark was down as well but less rotations
with load factor a stunning 91%. Islamabad was down but again
less rotations (due Hajj) and actually averaged over 300 per flight.
