June 2015
Disappointing June for SOU, passenger numbers down 5%. While Flybe's BOH base has likely affected numbers on the duplicated routes a significant number of other routes also seem to show significant decreases.
Milan and Bastia appear to have got off to a reasonable start and the sun routes all show significant year on year increases.
I do hope another operator will step in next year as there is clearly a strong market for the routes, and it looking increasingly unlikely that they will be operated this winter or next summer.
VLM loads have improved, although the 17% overall mentioned in the VLM thread is still poor. However the reasonably high fares they appear to be charging must be balancing this out to an extent, as the route now looks to be on sale over the winter season.
Flybe's winter schedule still looks rather thin, and who knows when they are gonna release the rest of it, if they do so at all of course...
