DTVAirport - few questions that I hope you can help with
- I calculated the load factor based on a F70 having 80 seats (even if the middle seat is sometimes left empty in business class). You mentioned it has only 79 seats - what happens to the missing seat ? Happy to change the load factors in my analysis if I've made a mistake. If it really is 79 seats, this should make the load factor look a little better.
- Are the E190s being used to replace the F100s or the F70s, both in the short term and also in the long term ? Could the F70s perhaps be left to run for another 5 years (or even longer) ? Will the F70 replacement definitely be E190s or is a 70-seater order a credible option ?
- I know KLM prefer to do a minimum of triple daily for any route - but is it possible that DTV might go from a triple daily F70 to a en E190 but double daily similiar to Manston ? Yes I know Saturday has only 2 rotations at the moment...
