Load Factors
CabinCrewe
Some of the routes do hit the extremes such as Milan with extremely low load factors during a couple of the winter months but good load factors in Spring and Summer and I assume flybe are prepared to ride the winter storm.
Brussels and Dusseldorf have been quoted as the most profitable of BHX routes due to a reasonable amount of last minute high-yielding fares.
Stuttgart is more of a mystery as flybe they have changed the times and in January even reducedi it to six a week and load factors have not improved. As for fares/yield on this service I have no idea but considering flybe has swung the axe elsewhere and this survives (thus far) would indicate that there is more to this route than meets the eye.
