If they can say UK traffic up 13% why can't they say Dubai traffic up / down x%, Abu Dhabi traffic up/ down x %? Is the information sensitive?
Because on routes where there is only one carrier it would give away exact loads, which would be an unfair advantage to competitors thinking of taking them on. Somebody might say "oh look, carrier x has over 90% loads on route y, let's go after that"
On routes where there are 2 carriers, they would be able to figure out the competition's loads too, and say "oh look, we're killing them, let's drop the prices a bit and make them give up" or "oh look, they're killing us, better fight back or give up"
