September Route analysis

Looking at Pete's excellent statistical report a couple of things come to mind.

CGN's load factor isn't that much worse than HAJ - obviously yield is everything, but looking solely at the passenger numbers viability must be close run thing on CGN.

KEF was pretty bad, and it suggests that if Icelandair are to make anything of the route they are going to be relying really heavily on transatlantic connecting traffic, rather than point to point. Hopefully the American and Midlands business and leisure travelers will sign up to the idea of hubbing in Iceland.

CPH loads are pretty amazing, and suggests that their may be scope for a competing carrier on this route (Flybe perhaps)

Thinking of the FlyBe 2015 first release, we have to remember it is just that - a first release. Thinking back 12 months, the network for summer 2014 was much greater when it actually started than was suggested last autumn so it's not time for gloom and doom just yet!
