Will keep saying this

UNITED WILL NEVER BE 100%!!!!!!
It's NOT a CHARTER........


UNITED and EMIRATES are the same

The route will take time to grow and by this I mean YEARS.
Yes the loads aren't good but if you look at the route since it started you will have noticed that Sunday's and Friday flights are the weaker ones.

Overall the route I don't think is too bad
Last month it should have hit early 60% and this month is looking to hit late 60% loads

Does EMIRATES ever get anywhere near 80% full for the month??????

Over the next 2 weeks business class seats are nearly FULL on certain days and that's where the money is made
Those numbers are shockingly low for coming into peak summer transatlantic. On the basis of this load factor, it's a goner, the aircraft can be used more profitably in a stronger market. In regional flying btw, they really need to make money in Economy as business class travel is traditionally weaker, hence the way Virgin out of GLA is shall we say, not cheap.

United and Emirates are not the same.......! By a looong shot.
