So even if the seat count was flat logic dictates improved totals as Ryanair EasyJet etc will operate fuller flights than Monarch achieved.
A fair point TC, as RYR & EZY seem to achieve LFs over their whole network in the high 80s percentage wise as I recall. Let's hope it turns out that way.
LAX,yes I noticed the dates given for Hainan and Austrian and then forgot to mention.
Given we lose, for example, Little Red and bmir immediately, and presumably the loss of a daily BA shuttle also, I wouldn't be too surprised if April results are not too clever, although the timing of Easter sometimes has an impact. Apart from LFs, the timing of when the routes that are being dropped started last summer, as compared to the timing of new services or increased frequencies this summer, may well determine how smooth or volatile the percentage changes in pax numbers are from month to month.
