CAA stats for August are finally out.
Icelandair carried 1,232 passengers on their KEF route, which gives an average load of 47 pax (64%). The average load since the route began in July is a modest 59%.
AMS is continuing to benefit from being operated by Cityjet's RJ-85s (95 seats), with 22% growth over the last year (same growth as in July 2017). 5,227 passengers used the route, giving an average load of 85 and load factor of 89%. As I mentioned with the July stats, KLM would be silly not to put the E-190 on the route next July and August, as the demand is clearly there for growth on the route.
Aer Lingus' summer routes are all down given the reduction in frequencies. FAO (-20%), ALC (-42%), AGP (-21%), PMI (-30%). Aer Lingus carried 8,787 fewer passengers on its summer routes this August than in 2017, and 17,311 fewer passengers over both July and August.
Overall, 264,928 passengers used BHD in August, down 5% on last year.
