    The England away fans certainly helped to push some of these routes. There were like 2000 in Podgorica.

    This cannot survive on an L/F of 61% when it should be 72% +

      Good prices, nice weather. I’d much rather take a 1h flight to Tivat than drive 5h (like unfortunately so many that still do) to the Dalmatian coast in Croatia.

    Load factor is useless information without knowing the achieved price per ticket. I'm seeing recently JU flights to LHR with LF of 50%, but you cannot find the ticket with baggage for a price below EUR 340. Few years ago, you would see usually LF of 70-75% on the same route, but the ticket price started at EUR 179 for promotional fares. There is also a fuel price factor, but that is not so dramatic in this case.
