Some stats so far - April 2004 - 5,289 pax - 126 pax per flight - 45% Load Factor May 2004 - 6,547 pax - 105 pax per flight - 37% Load Factor June 2004 - 9,435 pax - 157 pax per flight - 56% Load Factor July 2004 - 14,168 pax - 228 pax per flight - 82% Load Factor Aug 2004 - 13,967 pax - 225 pax per flight - 81% Load Factor Sept 2004 - 11,967 pax - 199 pax per flight -71% Load Factor Oct 2004 - 12,977 pax - 209 pax per flight - 75% Load Factor Nov 2004 - 11,812 pax - 197 pax per flight - 71% Load Factor Dec 2004 - 12,416 pax - 200 pax per flight - 72% Load Factor Jan 2005 - 14,923 pax - 240 pax per flight - 86% Load Factor I'm not one for comparisons, but in BHX's first full year of EK ops the pax total for 2001 was 122,208 pax, in the 9 full months since the GLA-DXB route started GLA is averaging 12,023 pax per month, so if the trend continues GLA looks on course to handle 144,000 pax for the first full 12 months of operation.

B Very good indeed considering the airline said they were hoping to attract 100,000 pax per year (and 3500 tonnes of freight). www.asiatraveltips.com/travelnews04/183Emirates.shtml Some interesting quotes here about the catchment area they are serving with this flight and the LHR slog which Scots can now bypass.

Heres hoping for some 90%+ load factors during the Summer months leading up to the arrival of the 777. Perhaps an announcement regarding QR during the Summer?

If this were EDI-orientated in the EDI newsgroup, you would have a posse at your throat...why aren't the posse doing likewise here.? -- Blimpee administrator, alt.airports.uk.glasgow Back to top Clive Braham Guest Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2005 6:55 pm    Post subject: Re: GLA-DXB Progress Report "GLAGAZ" <spazgaz (AT) gmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: I thought EK intended to carry 150,000 pax in their first 12 months?

Yes other reports said 150,000. On target anyway :-) To get 150,000 would be excellent; can't remember our 1st year of daily non-stop services after they began operating to MAN in 1989 - it's either 1999 with 132,000 pax or 2000 with 169,000 pax.

Here's hoping for 150k and then some more steady year on year growth.

Think I'd prefer QR though. They offer better connections than EY right now.

They also seem to follow EK into markets. Wherever EK go, QR tend to turn up a year or two later.
