Thanks. 117 out of 122 seats on the A319 makes it a load factor of 96%

It's actually half of that, as it counts both inbound and outbound passengers, so it's 117 out of 244 passengers. LF of less than 50%

Nevermind

1,166 divided by 10 overall flights(in and out) in July is 116.6 😀

We'll just pretend that didn't happen

The LH A319 fits 138 passengers to my understanding, more like 84% however very good load factor!

No worries, I was probably looking at the wrong seat map. Hopefully we see an increase in services from them next year. We need a big name like Lufthansa at the airport

Think it was the middle of November last yr when they released their summer schedule so theres still hope. Just done a dummy booking for FRA-SNN on the 28th of April next. 91 seats reserved out of 138! Healthy forward bookings

the majority of this drop is in stanstead, was the service cut/reduced by the operator? odd that there is no similar increase in the other london airports.

Ryanair cut Stansted from 16pw to 12pw.

A weakening sterling has caused a large dropoff of UK tourism to Ireland, hence the drop in traffic from the UK. Other routes were lucky to maintain numbers.

Surprising AF had a spare A388 given the one that went out of service earlier and the one still stuck in Goose Bay

Have to agree ...... It's not the sort of aircraft you would think they would have sitting around waiting for an emergency but I saw the replacement coming in over my house with my own eyes and was truly impressed ....

The Goose Bay 380 has really turned into a bit of a disaster ..... stuck out in the wilds with not only a busted engine but who knows what other damage may or may not have been caused to the structure of the aircraft ....

Anyway, Shannon did a good job as usual, on the diversion .....
