Used an A319, 134 pax.
Gives a LF of 38%, however I am aware that numbers improved massively in the summer. Still quite poor however though for May, can't dress that up.
However the service returns next summer on the 28th of April, so there's obviously some economic merit, LH won't run at a massive loss. The Saturday only flight is a disadvantage.

Used the inbound service a fair bit in June/ July & August and loads looked good from what I could see. Would be great if they could justify a few days a week but even still I've been fortunate not have to drive down from Dublin after the trips. Be on the inbound again in a few weeks and should be interesting to see what it's like Semi off peak.

Did the SAS Stockholm route recently. Great airline imo. Busy enough both ways but not packed either so not sure how successful it has been overall. Maybe 60-70% full in and out. Mainly Swedish tours by the looks of it...and some business travellers on the return to SNN.
If they promoted it, and ran it for a bit longer it has potential...maybe inbound more so than out imo.

What's the promotion like in Sweden? Here it's mainly just the FB page going into overdrive.
The recent aircraft upgrades are promising. First A320N operated on a commercial flight to the airport recently.

Didn't see much promotion but was in and out of Arland quick. Listed as a seasonal destination on their in flight magazines etc. Didn't see that much over driving on social media at this side either to be honest, no more than other routes or airports.

Rouge looks like the best possible operator for the route. They've a good presence in Canada, a lower costbase than Air Canada themselves, but will still be offering connecting traffic.
What aircraft are they planning to use on the route? The range looks a little tight for one of their A319s or A321s; not impossible, but I could see a number of westbound flights having to stop in Gander to refuel. On the other hand, a B767 would seem a little big. But it's only those three types that they have.
