I just want to add that US school holidays started a bit early and ended a bit early, so for the typical "return to home" summer crowd, things started early and ended early too. For the US markets, it may explain why the numbers dropped a bit more quickly this year in August. The US market ultimately relies heavily on the Visiting Family & Friends crowd during the summer.
I am interested to see how the numbers change when Starlux adds more LAX flights in the winter season.
