The restart of flights to Toulouse started today with Ryanair.
Would appreciate if anyone has the loads for these flights out of curiosity?
I will be travelling on these flights quite regularly over the next few months, hopefully it will be a success and can be extended into the winter schedules too 🤞

Having now added Toulouse to my load-factor files I note that Tui have been operating the route since December.
Unfortunately there were only 2 flights that month with a load-factor of 76.46pc. As explained previously, the CAA data for February is not due out until 16th April.

I have been wondering whether to put these statistics here, or on the CAA statistics thread, however since it is not produced by either the CAA or the airport I thought that Movements Log was as good a place as any. Please let me know if you have any strong feelings.

This chart shows the percentage of movements by airline for the period March 2024 to March 2025. It is just the top 26 by percentage share:

I did note one diversion to MAN yesterday ... a Ryanair B38M arrived operating ALC to LBA. There was an AGP-LBA Ryanair right behind it which looked to be coming too, but it headed to LPL. The Manchester aircraft returned to LBA after an hour or so, once early morning fog permitted.

Many thanks. That flight is included in my log, but maybe I need to change the highlight from yellow to something more noticeable?

What’s with all those easyJet and Ryanair cancellations?

 

[Scottie Dog]

It was mainly industrial strike action in Greece.
