August pax 18544 divided by 62 sectors which equals 299 per flight.
Designated aircraft B77W 428 seats giving an August load factor 69%.
What happened in reality was 7 x 77L, 16 x 3-class 77W's and just 8 x 2-class 77W's, which actually brought the load factor up to around 83%.
I think most would agree a load factor on EK of 83% is pretty good and the only worrying aspect is nearly three quarters of the flights were down-graded from the "usual" aircraft.
As I am sure 10 DME ARC can confirm Ramadan affected the early part of August with BHX also receiving a few three class 77W's although the load factor was over 90% as was Glasgow and Manchester.
Definitely will be interesting to see how EK develop further in the UK outside of London although I am sure they will pleased to get NCL almost up to 300 per flight.
