April Domestic Route analysis
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.
With the Flybe flight status check I was able to take into account cancellations. BHD, EDI and GLA did see slightly more flights this April so perhaps they might have been higher. Inverness was like for like and is encouraging and Newquay not too bad for April although fares were generally very light. easyjet dropped the Saturday service this summer and it hardly affected the figures.
