No suprise on the Dalaman front, there has been a massive downturn due to the bad press about Syria. People do not realise how far some of the resorts are from the border.... Having said that the refugees have used some of the beaches near the tourist resorts to set sail for Greece...

I understand the resorts are some distance from the border but with a weak border to start with and British people being a big target you can see why people are put off

Think I read that TUI said they are 40% down on bookings as whole for Turkey as well, but can understand why there is such a downturn in passengers

The problem with the month on month stats is that the numbers of pax/flights are often so low that events like weather can have a big impact e.g. the 9% increase at MME is about 600 pax, couple of more days of dodgy weather in 2015 than 2016?
Interesting also to compare the two KL/AF partner airlines at NCL - KL seem to be able to flex easily, i.e. they have operated a number of 739's this week but also a number of EMB's on 737 flts, whereas the AF only seems to change from the 146 due to tech issues.
Are CDG loads less volatile, AF less flexible or does the arrangement with CityJet get in the way?

AMS decrease is likely the loss of EZY from the route (was it March 2015 or something? Maybe May) which considering we've lost something in the order of 5,000 seats per month due to them dropping NCL-AMS, KLM has performed impresively, especially when there was growth at the end of 2015, bigger boost for KLM that the statistics suggest, hoping the 739's become a regular thing, either that or another daily flight or two when the new E175's come in

Winter routes operating in Jan 2015 i.e. Gatwick (7,700 Pax) Sharm-el-sheik and Enfidha have been lost this year which has a drag effect on growth for Jan 16. Thanks to Ryanair, Alicante has had an 82% increase in pax over last year.
