DFW Foreign Carrier Estimated October 2018 Loads

[Greg]

Here are the estimated load factors for the foreign carriers at DFW for October 2018. Lufthansa strong at 90% overall, and this includes nearly two weeks with the extra seats on the Airbus A340-600. I've calculated these with 281 seats, if this data is incorrect, please let me know - that's what OAG shows. Japan continues its strong performance yet again, while most everyone else is cooling off as the high summer season concludes. Interjet once again just above half full, so common for their runs at DFW month after month.

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 - 62 flights with 99 seats
Air Canada - 177 flights with 76 seats
Avianca - 29 flights with 96 seats, two flights with 150 seats
