Feb International Route analysis

CATIII-NDB

Cheers.

One correction from a pm and much appreciated but I was suspicious of the high load factor and that is Waterford. Three were scheduled but I only picked up two from libhomeradar but the missing one was the re-starts service on 22/2 which did operate I believe, making it 46 per flight and 58% load factor but not too bad after its little holiday.

Good to seek EK back over 80% also with 110 out of 112 movements on 428/442 seat aircraft.

FRatSTN - I think charges could still be an issue at BHX for FR going by how well the existing flights are doing.

The load factors in February on most routes are well above the network wide figure of 77% (except LDY & BGY) although I do concede some city routes were heavily discounted but at times only one or two of the based aircraft were flying with between 10 and 12 parked up.

The main moans I have heard this winter is the lack choice from BHX and the flights available have been expensive with countless tales of lost pax to Luton, East Mids and Stansted.
