CAA stats - Oct '15
Passengers down 1.9% on last year, with the rolling year up by 0.7%, so numbers will most likely be pretty flat by the year end. Most domestic routes were down, although it is likely that the increased frequencies on some over the winter may counter this a little.
Flybe's new service to Düsseldorf carried 397 passengers, meaning it carried 28 passengers on average and had a load factor of 36.3%. Not a fantastic start, hopefully last months numbers will show a sizeable improvement on that.
There is no data for how many passengers flew to Antwerp but 918 flew to Hamburg, so VLM achieved an average load of 21 passengers, for a 42% load factor. While it is still low loads are heading in the right direction, and looking at the fares they charge yield can't be too bad either.
