BFS-BHX
Source:CAA for the passenger figures and June and August estimated load factor due to not knowing the pricise date the summer cuts started and ended.
April 2016....17937 (16575).......134.....86%
May............18511 (16573).......132.....85%
June...........18643 (16432).......130.....83%
July............15014 (11629).......132.....85%
August........15868 (11692).......135.....87%
September...18511 (15993).......136.....87%
All pretty similar and all showing good growth, as the summer cuts in 16 were not as severe as summer 15.
As I have mentioned before if you follow the website it is pretty straightforward the weak services are the BHX outbound in the morning Tuesday-Thursday dragging load factor down, which is no surprise as it is heavily weighted as Belfast originating service.
Little doubt June, July and August the aircraft probably could yield more from Belfast to the Med in the morning but what about the other 2 - 4 sectors in the day and 9 months of the year if the whole service is pulled? Winter it is particularly strong but I can't see it going seasonal.
