load factor minus break even load factor =
1.6 - 2013-2014
0.6 - 2012-2013
0.8 - 2011-2012
5.3 - 2010-2011
2.4 - 2009-2010
1.0 - 2008-2009
2.7 - 2007-2008
5.2 - 2006-2007
5.6 - 2005-2006 (or 5.5)*
7.1 - 2004-2005
5.9 - 2003-2004
4.6 - 2002-2003
3.2 - 2001-2002
4.0 - 2000-2001
3.8 - 1999-2000
4.7 - 1998-1999
5.4 - 1997-1998
is this believable, regardless how "break even" is defined?
for example 5.3 in 2010-2011, although fleet is a factor
* discrepancy in one year's break even load factor
2013-2014 annual report says 60.2 for 2005-2006
http://www.theemiratesgroup.com/engl...2005-2006.aspx
emirates operating statistics at that link says 60.3
(i did not check all reports against all others)
