Summer 2016
Good point about the increase in movements being very similar to the increase in seats, with average seats per movement at 173. If LFs hold up, with an extra 2.45m seats in total over the summer per the ACL report, 25m pax for the year should be achievable.
The airlines with the biggest increase in seats (no real surprises).
RYR 522,995 (+21.8%)
EZY 492,078 (+29%)
flybe 241,902 (15.4%)
Jet2 189,818 (11.9%)
TCX 186,436 (11.3%)
One disappointment is there are no slots for Air China. Had they applied but then cancelled them? It looks as if we won't be seeing them this year and one wonders what their intentions are.
Pegasus include a daily SAW from 1 July. Is that still likely to operate?
