I agree 82& over a 12 month period for sheers numbers (Forgetting yield) is really good but it is usually 90% plus when EK increase although there have been some exceptions such as QR announcing BHX and a few years back when QR and EY expanded at Manchester.
The reported stats thus far for 2016 (Source: CAA) make grim reading every month down in the first third of the year although load factors have maintained as the decrease has been quite small.
January...2016..36291.....2015...38005......2016 avg...293.....81%
February 2016..33396.....2015...34536......2016 avg...288....80%
March.....2016..37191.....2015...38058......2016 avg...300....83%
April......2016...36059.....2015...36295.....2016 avg....300....83%
Total.............142937......2015.146894.....2016 avg....295....82%
Only 3427 fewer pax compared to 2015 and load factor has remained steady and if things have improved in the last 3 months that is impressive as May and June are difficult months although the Scottish holidays temper some of that.
