CAA stats for Sep/Oct
Passengers were up an impressive 15% in September and 16% in October. Whilst there is no longer a rolling year figure included in the CAA stats I would hazard a guess that it is now above last year. Domestic routes seem to mostly show some fair growth, although Leeds and Aberdeen are down quite a bit on last year, I presume Eastern have reduced the frequency of their flights compared to last year?
Not sure exactly when Toulon/Biarritz finished in September so I won't try and estimate the loads on them but the numbers seem reasonable.
Route - Sep/Oct
Cork - 39 pax 54%/36 pax 50% (Based on 5 weekly flights, seems to have performed consistently pretty well)
Dusseldorf - 47 pax 60%/51 pax 65% (Seems to have finally picked up nicely!)
Lyon - 24pax 30%/29 pax 37% (Imagine the regional air subsidy is compensating for these loads in part)
Munich - 31 pax/26 pax (Flybe started 01/09, figures suggest 2 carriers is probably too much for this route)
Paris CDG - 42 pax 54%/48 pax 61% (Increasing to double daily next summer)
