The data the CAA sends to airlines shows a full breakdown of each route by individual airline, so should be pretty easy to get what you need. Not really sure what the point of the comparison is meant to be though - seat factor is just one element of a complicated dynamic. Unless you have the yield, cabin mix, any airport specific cost differentials etc, then differences in seat factor alone tells you little. An airline might also be executing on different strategies at different airports which also renders any seat factor comparison pretty useless. A strategy to chase market share would probably see higher occupany with corresponding yield compression and a strategy to maximise seat revenue would probably dilute occupany as the trade off for higher revenue.
