September up 12.7%
Finally.
Source CAA: 1362559 up nearly 13% (1208581 for 2016).
Emirates 55489 down 10% but a reduction in 26% in seats due to the loss of EK41/2. Average 462 per flight at 89%. I thought it might have been higher.
Qatar Doha 11556 average 193 at 76% a slight improvement (down 10% on September 2016)
Air India 13788 average 230 @ 90% - I believe one of the best months yet and time for an increase?
PIA Islamabad 7237 down but average 329 per flight at 88% due to a reduced frequency but much better load factor.
Turkish 13377 up 4% average 129 around 80% load factor, Rumours it might go back to double daily but certainly seems to have picked up and possibly EK traffic.
Newark - 8631 up 10%... Time for an increase.....whoops forgot the service has gone (Manchester- Newark... 8511 pax down 4%).
