Thanks for the insightful analysis, I'm sure KLM bosses will follow the superior advice offered to them on PPRuNe and drop the route immediately!
Passengers down 0.5% in March, looking as though the airport should return to growth from this month.
Antwerp (23!) + Hamburg (572) = 14 passengers per flight = 28%
Paris CDG (433) = 43 passengers per flight = 55%
Dusseldorf (2287)= 37 passengers per flight = 49%
Cork (871) = 44 passengers per flight = 61%
Looks like a solid start for CDG and ORK, with DUS heading in the right direction as well. Surprised VLM are still operating their SOU routes, I can only assume the fares are helping to compensate for the very poor loads they are getting somewhat.
