Load Factors
Seeing LF info posted on various threads, I thought I'd draw the information together. This is not a complete list - privately owned airlines don't post this info, and it seems a mainly Anglo-Saxon pastime, but here goes...
Airline, 2008 January %LF, Difference over January 2007. Monarch Scheduled 73.8 + 4.9 Ryanair 69 - 2 Silverjet 54 N/A Sky Europe 58.4 - 15.3 EasyJet 72.0 - 2.9 American Airlines 76.6 + 1.3 British Airways 69.2 - 0.7 Delta Air Lines 75.4 + 1.7 Northwest 80.5 + 1.4 Southwest 64.2 + 0.4 United Airlines 76.5 - 1.5 US Airways 75.2 +1.4 |
Sky Europe......that is frightening!

Buster -
Apparently it's because they have had a large increase in capacity over the period. Nonetheless, I share your concerns.... |
Load Factors
Loads of data on variouus national CAA/DOT websites.
Try www.caa.co.uk/airlinestatistics Anyway, load factor isn't a single simple measure. There are several ways of measuring it based on pax/seats or tonnes flown/tonnes available or weighted for loads and distance flown (RPK/RTK and ASK/ATK, with further wrinkles for combination self-loading and non-self loading traffic varieties, What really matters is how the particular load factor measure compares with the break-even load factor calculated on the same basis. If your load factor is 85% and your breakeven is 90% your'e stuffed. If your breakeven is 105% your stuffed, embalmed, buried and cremated, regardless of any actual load factors. |
