ORK-CWL
The passenger numbers were better in July. CAA stats show that 572 passengers used the route giving an average load of 71.5, 60.5% load factor on the 118-seat E 195.
This actually gives a higher average load than the daily ORK-BRS in July when 3910 passengers used the Aer Lingus Regional (Stobart Air) ATR 72, which is an average load of 63.
When Aer Arann operated both ORK-CWL and ORK-BRS at the same time some years ago the CWL route saw slightly lower average loads than the BRS route but the disparity was not that great.
The 118-seat E 195 represents a lot of seats on this route. An average load of 71.5 on a Q 400 would be excellent. Having said all this we all know that what really counts is yield, not average loads.
