Prov stats
Provisional stats for Jan 2013 show the number of pax on Belfast London routes collectively from both airports to the 5 London airport served were up very marginally. Approx 2013 130k v 2012 126k, rough tot.
Belfast City to Heathrow and Gatwick were circa 50% - 53% loads overall. On the back of what appear to be very low fares especially LGW would ponder the question - what will change, will EI be waiting for the next phase of BE restructure where Jim French has said that the next steps will be to look at the network and underperforming routes....
I've flown BHD London a number of times in Jan and the loads were soft and the fares equally so...
Be interesting to see what pans out and especially given that EI step up the frequency for summer on LGW...
