I think at this stage in the start ups, 40% loads are okay; I can remember flying many times in the beginning with VLM FK50 fro LUX to LCY with 12 pax; they stuck to it and got full loads within one year.
It's all about promoting a new route, convincing people to use SEN instead of other airports, and after 12/18 months we will have routes that succeed and those that will fail. Only 4 of the 11 routes have started. Let's hope the others are successful.
