David...thanks...

Thanks David...

This certainly indicates a steady and determined decline.

Using the website, I pulled the following rolling 12 month numbers from November last year and it shows a drop in the rolling average number of KLM passengers every single month.

These are the annual rolling figures for each of the last few months:

Nov 12 - 101,119
Dec 12 - 100,700
Jan 13 - 99,912
Feb 13 - 99,219
Mar 13 - 98,790
Apr 13 - 98,555
May 13 - 98,197
Jun 13 - 97,811
Jul 13 - 97,501
Aug 13 - 97,349
Sep 13 - 97,118
Oct 13 - 96,737

That represents almost a 4% drop in the last year. I would *expect* the recent announcements to have another negative impact on the numbers, but unless the current trends change, then you must surely be looking at KLM operations lasting another year to 18 months at best?

Of course, this analysis takes no account of yields....
