Emirates

Folks, below are the figures for calendar year (to November) 2015 pulled from the ek source:

Seats available: 268,400
Passengers flown: 212,357
Load Factor: 79.12%

Note that this is based on the mix of two/three class 777 that have flown the route, so its up for debate whether this is the true figure or whether the load factor should be calculated only on two class 777's (as this is what the flight is sold as).

Just to add my two-penneth, I think we are still some way off a 2nd daily Dubai (last time I flew back in November there were only 194 folks in economy, though business was full with 42). In my opinion, we are more likely to see Turkish Airlines (doubt we will see Qatar/Etihad any time soon) appear before we see a 2nd daily Dubai, but again I would also see this as at least a couple of years off - happy to be proved wrong though.
