1. Represents easyJet including GB Airways routes, the prior comparative does
not include GB Airways routes. From the April 2008 traffic statistics which
will be announced May 2008 and onwards GB Airways will no longer be
reported separately.
2. For comparative purposes the prior figure for GB Airways is shown.
3. Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats
that are flown whether or not the passenger turns up because easyJet is a
no-refund airline, and once a flight has departed a no-show customer is
generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats
also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for
business travel.
4. Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of seats
available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried out to
recognise the effect of varying flight (or 'stage') lengths.
