CFU 147 Pax LF 64%
HER 118 Pax LF 51%

These don't take into account any on the day cancellations.

All routes are seeing increases and things appear to be heading in the right direction.
HER I had starting 13th June and CFU 16th June but only found that through trawling through old posts. If anyone can confirm those dates it would be much appreciated.
Also no idea how many flights KLM operated during June so unable to work out the figures.

July should be much more positive with the school holidays. I checked yesterdays Alicante flight a few hours before departure and there was only 1 seat available on the seatmap.

Good to see that Larnaca and Corfu seem to be doing decently enough! Hopefully Heraklion will pick up in July.
With KLM I believe the original schedule isn't what was operated due to restrictions at Schipol.

CFU 174 Pax LF 76% (147 Pax LF 64%) (W9)
HER 91 Pax LF 40% (118 Pax LF 51%) (W9) Based on 3 flights per week as couldn't find out when the Friday flight stopped.

These don't take into account any on the day cancellations.

ORY has improved quite a lot.
Spanish routes are doing well, especially AGP for VY and FR, so still surprised they aren't on sale for S23.
Some concerning numbers for W9 for Larnaca and Heraklion. HER may be somewhat different depending on the date the Fri flight finished but even at 2x weekly it would be 57% LF. Corfu is doing surprisingly well so would've thought HER and LCA would as well.

 

[geoff]

Thanks Foxy for collating the figures, it's nice to see Dublin doing well. I think WIZZ will have to re-think a little for S23 although Faro seems to be gaining in numbers.

 

[Jerry]

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Heraklion dropped and replaced with something new. Something like Dalaman.

 

[Foxlimayankee]

I would have thought Crete would be more popular than Corfu. But in comparison jet2 and Easyjet both only offer twice weekly to HER and 3x and 4x weekly respectively to Corfu.
HER should definitely not be 3x weekly for Wizz. 2x weekly at the very most. Dalaman is a good shout but may well be included in the expansion plans (if they happen). A lot of bad feeling out there for Wizz now

 

[Jerry]

Yep Wizz start at CWL has had a lot of negativity but also many people have spoken well of them. I just hope they'll stick with any plan they have to expand over time because CWL needs them. I don't see how CWL will get the passenger numbers it needs for long term viability without a based LCC and Wizz has been the only LCC willing to base and provide those numbers for the airport.

Luckily (not for the pax of course) but for the LF’s there was cancellations on TFS, LCAx2 and HER which made the stats on those routes look a little better

HER was 73% LF
LCA 71% LF
TFS 75%

PMI matches my stats too and are extremely concerning!

 

[Pontyboy]

Flight times for PMI are not great. VY gets in at midnight for one of their rotations.

 

[Sean123]

Plus palma needs frequency, we do a jolly boys outing every year for 3 days and can't make the timings work from cwl so it's over the bridge we go every year unfortunately

Comparison figures for 2019-2022, where available, are in post #26 at https://forums4airports.com/threads/5945/page-2

 

[geoff]

I see from your figures on the above page, that CWL had 122,626 passengers for the month of July, still down 41% on 2019, but at least we are closing the gap slowly, on the last previous good year .Thanks Scottie for the time you spend compiling the figures.

 

[Scottie Dog]

My play on the CAA for July 2022. As always with the CAA there is a difference between the total passengers in Table 9 - which I use for my summary sheet - and the combined passenger figures from Tables 12.1 & 12.3 which I use to compile the International and Domestic figures.

DUB 169 Pax LF 90% (165 Pax LF 87%)
ORY. 151 Pax LF 69% (129 Pax LF 59%)
AMS. 6304 pax carried, down from 5725 in July but unsure of frequency through July)

ALC 170 Pax LF 88% (151 Pax LF 78%) (VY & W9)
AGP 162 Pax LF 88% (156 Pax LF 85%) (VY & FR)
PMI 164 Pax LF 80% (139 Pax LF 68%) (VY & W9)
FAO 167 Pax LF 80% (168 Pax LF 80%) (FR & W9)
TFS 180 Pax LF 78% (159 Pax LF 69%)(W9)

LCA 171 Pax LF 74% (128 Pax LF 56%) (W9)

CFU 156 Pax LF 68% (174 Pax LF 76%) (W9)
HER 160 Pax LF 70% (91 Pax LF 40%) (W9)

These don't take into account any on the day cancellations so LF's may differ.

ORY has improved quite a lot, would be better suited to an A320 if they could sustain those numbers. I imagine fares were still fairly cheap though.
DUB was up to 5x weekly and still managed good numbers.
Improvements on pretty much every route (except CFU), which is to be expected in August. Would be nice to see all routes 85%+ in August, but still the first year for Wizz so probably brings the numbers down a bit. ALC, AGP, PMI and FAO still doing well regardless as i remember seeing some quite high fares on those routes, so even though not full I would have thought yields would be quite good.

I imagine Wizz would be happy with their figures for the first season.

 

[geoff]

It's a pity they are not keeping Paris going with figures improving all the time, although as you say better suited to an A320, let's hope another airline picks it up.

[geoff]

The airport has already passed its hoped for target of 750,000, for the year in the month of September, so should be over 800,000 by the end of December. Dublin is doing really well. Thanks for your hard work Scottie.

HER 125 Pax LF 54% (160 Pax LF 70%) (W9) (Based on 4 return flights)

I've lost track of the flights operated in Sept a bit. I've no idea how many frequencies KLM operated.
DUB included an extra flight on Thursday 29th.

Overall a slight drop in Domestic and Spanish routes but still decent figures. Wizz isn't surprising as outbound flights would likely have been quieter because of the lack of return flights to suit people.
