When looking at the individual load factors North America is looking pretty good with a load factor of 87% for July and 83% YTD. Same numbers for SE Asia and Middle East is 81% for July and 81% YTD.
So why redeploy capacity from NA to ME? I guess mostly because of the oil price having a bigger effect on the long haul rutes, but shouldn't it be possible to increase ticket prices a bit with those load factors?
Any idea how big the reduction is going to be? What is the timeline for replacing all the 744 in NA with 777?
Probably going to take a while before we see any new interviews for DEFO in the States :{
