January 2023 Foreign Carrier Estimated Load Factors at DFW

Post by Greg »

Here are our estimated load factors for the foreign flagged carriers at DFW for January 2023. Certainly Iberia didn't fill 113 percent of the seats. I double checked and they did indeed just run the 13 flights, so it might be the airport reporting too many passengers against the available seats. Keep in mind for Qantas and Japan Airlines, that's total - Sydney/Melbourne as well as Tokyo Haneda/Narita.

For the dead of winter shoulder season, these are pretty decent numbers, particularly for Qatar and its double daily flights. Emirates and Turkish also have to be pleased as well I would imagine.

How did we arrive at the data?
I took publicly available seat counts and other published data (OAG, airline sites etc.) showing available seats for sale, ran that against the actual passenger counts that were provided by DFW Airport, and came up with these estimates. I do not guarantee 100% accuracy, but I think we are fairly close to the true numbers.

Total Flights Per Airline
AeroMexico 31, Air Canada 93, Air France 13, Avianca 22, British 30, Emirates 31, Finnair 15, Iberia 13, Japan 37, Korean 17, Lufthansa 23, Qantas 39, Qatar 62, Turkish 31, Viva 33, Volaris 45
