I believe that the CAA figures for Bristol-New York for Jan show 4,711.
Belfast on the same frequency has 6,361.
Birmingham and Glasgow have approx 9,000 with 2 extra flights per week.
Surely this is rather an area of concern.
Is the flight subject of a subsidy at present, if so what happens when it ceases.
Were any flights lost in Jan due weather.

I was under the impression the route was doing well!
Asking the concierge at BRS they say most flights are going out with 85% load factor.
Off topic a min, anybody know if EI have the A330 coming in today or have they changed it to a load of 320s/321s again?

Is this figure for flights both ways??

This being the case then the route is running at approx 62%.
But keep in mind that pax traffic is notoriously low between New Year and Easter.

That doesnt make sense, are you sure the BFS service is down to 5 a week at the moment?, Its just the CO check-in always seems so busy and the vibe around here is that its doing well!
Just found out the EI A330 due in at 1230! No more questions your honor!

Looking at the apron website I saw it was parked on 8 and I should imagine whats left of 7 and maybe part of it was parked on stand 9 too? So how did it get in and out? Did it land on 09 and come off at Bravo or land on 27 and backtrack to Bravo?

BRS commenced in May (part month) 2460, then 7266, 7283, 8777, 8497, 8600, 6374 and 5997 (Dec). Total 52,749.
BFS commenced in May (one week later than BRS) 926, then 7717, 9451, 8365, 8664, 8551, 7035, 6638 (Dec). Total 55,821.
For some reason the monthly provisional figures for the CO BRS-EWR route have been corrected upwards in recent months when the final figures are published. This does not seem to happen to other BRS routes or to other EWR routes from the UK.
For example in December the original figure published was around 5500, subsequently adjusted to 5997.
On this basis expect the final Jan figure to work out in the low 5,000s. Not great but EDI only had 5800 in Jan 2005 from 5 weekly rotations and subsequently went on to ten or eleven rotations per week in summer 05. I am not suggesting BRS will get that many this summer.
Furthermore, CO stated publicly before the route commenced that their target for the first year of BRS-EWR was 75,000 pax. BRS is well on course to meet and probably exceed this.
There has been no publicly-stated subsidy but who knows what commercial arrangement the airport and airline have entered into.
Just to confirm both BRS and BFS are down to five weekly rotations Nov-March. BRS goes back to seven next week. Not sure about BFS.

Woohoo!
I imagine its a testing the water situation with the CUN flight to see the limits etc of the a/c out of BRS, guna be great to see a FCA 767 in BRS!
Hopefully things may work out and we'll see some sort of longhaul prog out of BRS in the very near future!
