easyJet launch their Lanzarote & Toulouse services tomorrow. The Lanzarote flight has 141 passengers booked which represents a 78% load factor. The Toulouse flight has a shocking 38 passengers booked which represents a 25% load factor!

Tenerife launches the next day and currently has 156 passengers booked which represents a 87% load factor. Other days in the week very similar if not worse.

The Canaries services will do well, but Toulouse is not looking good, forward bookings are shocking, which is not surprising coming in with a daily service and easyJet already operating out of Gatwick. Also Ryanair are commencing service to Toulouse from Stansted in November which makes me think that easyJet's Luton service was launched because of this. The daily service could have been utilised so much better IMO.
