That's 186 per day on average, but as your say, quite seasonal, 18,624 and 20,782 in Q1 and Q4 2018, but 13,690 and 14,683 in Q2 and Q3, but even in the busiest quarter it's only about 227 per day. The viability of a 3x weekly seasonal flight might be there, but that would require an extraordinarily high yield. Obviously, these data exclude South African originating traffic and Canadians connecting to the Southern African region.
