Easyjet has 219 Airbus birds. Aeroflot a mere 118. Ok, Aeroflot operates 22 longhaul A330 planes, but that does not explain why Aeroflot has a higher ASM figure than Easyjet that has almost double the Airbus fleet.

EasyJet (U2) has fewer ASMs for that date.

Code:

U2	319	63821628
U2	320	56327949

SU's ASMs come from its narrow-body fleet more than long-haul.

Code:

SU	320	44350600
SU	77W	33419868
SU	333	31710780
SU	321	21437340

Sorry you feel that way. It is data from OAG for schedules plus great-circle distances and published seat maps for details on seat counts on board.
