Well, after long and tiring efforts we 've managed to short of answer the question which is the biggest airline at Rhodes in terms of seats offered and flights planned.
To achieve this, we had to go through each airline schedule for May and June and although the accumulated stats may not be 101% accurate, as some flights were or will be cancelled, they surely provide a glimpse on the subject.
And the winner is...
...Aegean Airlines which offers by far the most seats to RHO including their charter operations. Some other interesting conclusions are:
- Ryanair's 5th place while Rhodes is in its 3rd year of service
- Olympic Air's low average seats per fly explained by the many flights performed with small planes
- The presence of 4 airlines on the TOP-20 that specialize in the Scandinavian market
- The limited presence of Easyjet compared to their schedule for Heraklion i.e., a finding probably worth of further analysis.
So, here is the TOP-20 list for May and June months:
It would be further interesting to compare our results to the actual ones based on flights performed and airline load factors but such data are hard to find and may also be confidential.
Anyway, we hope you find our little analysis useful and for sure we will do our best to repeat it during the high season months as well as at the season's end for final results.
