Just thought I'd put this out here -
EK stats for 2015, so far we've had 10 months of growth between 4-15% with only April posting -2% (likely due to Easter holiday variations as March was +15%, was it early this year?)
Jan-Dec 2014 = 215,737 LF - 62.78%
Jan-Nov 2015 = 212,357 LF - 67.35%
A rough calculation based on 11 months Jan-Nov gives an average annual growth of 8.09% therefore, if this occurs in December, the monthly figure should be somewhere around 20,329 and the full year figures somewhere between 232,686 - 233,101
Obviously this is just a little bit of fun and reflects very little on what will actually happen but it's good when you get quite near
I hope to be able to do the same for United next year when I get the first +/-% in May
