BHX-DXB
GrahamK
Are you on about November 16? If we are it is like comparing apples and pears. BHX - DXB was three daily in November 2015 and in November 16 it was two daily for the whole month.
Also November 2015 BHX - DOH was nil as it hadn't started and in November 16 I guess it was around 10-12000 pax.
BHX-DXB November 15 52890 average 294 pax load factor 73% (pre 380)
BHX-DXB November 16 50774 based on -4% but I have not seen any figures, which equates to 423 per flight at 81% which is very much okay although I noticed fares were slightly softer than usual although not at Qatar levels.
The cancellation of EK41/42 during November was not a last minute decision but the official explanation was never given publicly and it was presumed due to pressure on yields as it was the first winter with Qatar in the fray.
However November is usually a good month but November 2015 flagged up warnings with 73% on EK before the A380 (89% in Nov 2014) as it had not been that low for years.
