(The published schedule on Links Air's website indicates April saw 28 round trips to Belfast and 7 to the Isle of Man. In calculating summary stats, I assume all flights operated.
Belfast - 28 round trips, 420 pax, so 7.5 passengers per flight
Isle of Man - 7 round trips, 94 pax, so 6.7 passengers per flight
I'm assuming that all flights operated with a 19 seat Jetstream 31
Thus for load factors:
Belfast - 39.5 %
Isle of Man - 35.3 %
These numbers are better than I had expected. Granted they will need to improve on both load factor and also (based solely on my experience of regularly checking fares quoted on the website in April) the yield, but for the first two weeks of operating, it's rather stronger than some other small airlines new to regional flying in the UK we've seen in the last few years. )
could you post link to the website????
