July:

Amsterdam 1055 -average 10 pax per flight (20%)
Dublin 1759 - average 16 pax per flight (33%)
Jersey 349 - average 44 pax per flight (¿this is an ATR42 so 92%?)
Verona 235 - average 29 pax per flight (59%)

I really thought AMS would get more pax than that. May and June had to be disasters because nobody had got a chance to find out the flights even existed before they started flying, but by July I thought things would be (if not wonderful) better than that.

On the other hand... I've booked a lot of flights and none of them from CBG.

Today I was looking at:

LGW <> TBS: £243.04, 08h00 out 08h00 back
STN <> TBS: £291.04, 10h55 out 10h35 back
LTN <> TBS: £365.68, 11h40 out 08h00 back
LHR <> TBS: £398.38, 10h25 out 07h50 back
LCY <> TBS: £402.91, 11h40 out, 14h25 back
NWI <> TBS: £507.79, 14h05 out, 10h10 back
CBG <> TBS: £552.50, 27:45 out, 10h40 back

The extra is something you might be willing to pay (a lot of the cheaper flights are Ukraine International Airlines) if it wasn't for the fact that the connections just don't work because of the wacky flight times between CBG and AMS :-( (And if you're flying to Georgia you're probably willing to take the chance of going via Ukraine.)

I'm noticing that the timetable seems to be changing in mid September, but I'm confused as to exactly what they're doing.

Based on the CityJet website the weekday timetable is going to be:

CBG-DUB 0910-1035, DUB-CBG 1105-1230
CBG-AMS 1125-1330, AMS-CBG 1400-1405
CBG-AMS 1355-1600, AMS-CBG 1640-1645
CBG-DUB 1715-1840, DUB-CBG 1910-2030

This doesn't make any sense at all.

The second rotation to AMS seemingly isn't actually bookable, which leaves us with:

CBG-DUB 0910-1035, DUB-CBG 1105-1230
CBG-AMS 1125-1330, AMS-CBG 1400-1405
CBG-DUB 1715-1840, DUB-CBG 1910-2030

Which... still doesn't make any sense?
