Here are our estimated load factors for the foreign flagged carriers at DFW in April 2022. Decent numbers overall as we start to head into the summer travel season. Not sure about Viva Aerobus and Volaris with the two Mexican carriers filling half their available seats at DFW. Flag carrier AeroMexico is doing better, load wise, with less seats and flights. Again, these figures don't take into account yield. I have no idea how many premium seats are being filled, for example, nor does it take into account any cargo that may be flown. There are many factors that show a route's profitability; load factors are but one part. But, they are interesting to see of course!
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 and came up with these estimates. I do not guarantee 100% accuracy, but I think we are fairly close to the true numbers. As far as the enplaning and deplaning passenger counts, those were supplied directly from DFW Airport.
