April route analysis - schedule International
Passenger figure Source:CAA (actual)
Average per flight: Own records, Libhomeradar, BHX Bl*g
Load Factor: Estimated based on airline websites and seat-map sites
Around 20000 pax lost on routes which operated in April 2014 but didn't at all in April 15, which is quite significant.
Other than that some new April routes had modest starts such as Athens and Reykjavik but the core business routes were quite good.
Never seen Brussels with such a high load factor although they have reduced from five to four daily.
Paris suffered from cancellations of which I had first hand experience which was the reason it was down but the load factor was more one associated with a loco route.
Ryanair routes as high as ever but medium/long-haul was modest. PIA well down due to the fewer frequencies, Turkish was reasonable for the increased frequency and Emirates slightly down. Air India of course was daily in 2015 compared to 2014 and wasn't too bad although April is usually a strong month.
