Airlines’ load factor results at odds

Aer Lingus and Ryanair have published their passengers figures for October which show that while the Aer Lingus load factor increased, Ryanair’s slipped.

However, when the flights of Aer Lingus Regional, which was previously know as Aer Arann, are stripped out of the Aer Lingus figures, the load factor is actually down 1.6%.

The load factor is the percentage of seats filled per plane.
