Loadings for May - September:

Dublin 13%, 20%, 33%, 40%, 34%
Amsterdam 10%, 16%, 20%, 22%, 30% (Albeit the 30% was after people would have had their flights combined).

With more bad publicity surrounding the cancellation of the winter services Cambridge has an uphill task in terms of publicity.

The Darwin death was slow and painful; those who tried to brave them endured a million cuts, re-timings, and cancellations.

There has now been two more rounds of publicity for cancellations, which for some passengers will have been preceeded by two rounds of retimings. Further, CityJet's Facebook suggests that they are awful about paying refunds, meaning it might be likely there will be further bad publicity.

Had it not been for that, the numbers would have persuaded me that it was possible for an airline with better publicity (EI or FlyBe) to operate some kind of service to Dublin, and that while they would never want to, KLM could operate a service to Amsterdam.
