I would be surprised if pax numbers rise 8-10% again. Was expecting a much smaller increase this year.


I've got a gut feeling EMA might be slightly down in 2015 because as it stands, LS and TOM look slightly disappointing next summer although no reduction in based aircraft. TCX is looking pretty much like its typical amount.


I really think EMA is in need of some more city/business like routes. They have BHD, EDI and GLA well covered but there's no service to CDG now other than four midday flights a week by LS and AMS and DUB are now only once daily.


I'm pinning my hopes on FR who hopefully will bring some new traffic again in 2015 after a pretty disappointing 2014 from them (no new routes other than ORK which started last November) and DUB reduced to once daily. Would be nice to see some growth from ZB or BE as well. Fingers crossed.
