CAA stats show the total passenger numbers from which the average loads and load factors can be calculated.
The 118-seat E 195 was the aircraft type on all routes except Belfast City which uses the Q 400.
The below figures are those for November (in blue) and December.
Edinburgh 6644 passengers, ave load 72.2 load factor 61.2%

The below ski routes commenced in December with the E195 but the figures are lower because the first inbound flights would almost certainly have been lightly loaded. January will give a more realistic picture of these two routes.
Geneva 246 61.5 52.1%
Chambery 201 50.2 42.6%
Could not establish Flybe's numbers on the Dublin route as it competes with Aer Lingus Regional (Stobart).
As always yields are the important figures. The loads and load factors were improving through last summer and naturally were mostly higher than in the winter months so far.
The E 195 is a large aircraft to fill on some of the routes but the likes of MXP, MUC and DUS have generally showed higher monthly average loads (though not always higher load factors) than similar routes from Bristol on the bmi regional E 145s, albeit bmir's fares are usually much higher than Flybe's which might indicate a better yield, although without knowing all the financial aspects of the two airlines on these routes it's impossible to be sure.
