DFW Foreign Carrier Estimated May 2018 Loads

[Greg]

Here are the estimated load factors for the foreign carriers at DFW for May 2018. First month of 787-9s for Japan Airlines, and I've calculated using the 195 seat variant rather than the 203 seater. Icelandair had its first flight and WOW Air started with four flights. I've calculated Icelandair with 183 seats and WOW Air with 345 seats on their A330s. If these counts are off, please let me know.

How did we arrive at the data?
I took publicly available seat counts and other published data showing available data and came up with these estimates. I do not guarantee 100% accuracy, but I think we are fairly close to the true numbers. OAG, Various Source websites, airline sites etc.

Assumptions:
AeroMexico - 42 flights with 99 seats, 15 flights with 96 seats, five flights with 98 seats
Air Canada - 172 flights with 76 seats
Avianca - 21 flights with 96 seats
British Airways – 31 flights with 337 seats
Emirates - 31 flights with 354 seats
Icelandair - one flight with 183 seats
Interjet - 51 flights with 150 seats
Japan Airlines - 30 flights with 195 seats, one flight with 161 seats
Korean - 22 flights with 277 seats
Lufthansa - 31 flights with 255 seats
Qantas – 27 flights with 484 seats inbound and 355 seats outbound (lower outbound estimate for blocked seats)
Qatar – 31 flights with 358 seats
Volaris - 14 flights with 179 seats
WOW Air - four flights with 345 seats
