re: Ann: Preliminary Operating Statistics Aug... It looks even better when you look at the trend:

All passenger numbers vs previous year:

August
Domestic + 6.3%
International + 27.7%

July
Dom. + 4.7%
Int. + 21.8%

June
Dom. +6%
Int. +16.6%

May
Dom. +3.2%
Int. +13.3%

April
Dom. +0.5%
Int. +18.7%

Domestic revenue load factors and on-time seem to be slipping though. I'd assume the current network review will be aiming to deal with the load factor slip. On-time performance i'm not so sure about, personally I think its a factor of more planes from many carriers stretching the constant supply of airport facilities, or alternatively the wetter than usual winter on the East-Coast. I've been on about 10 flights on Jet, Qan & VBA this month and all but 1 has been late.

Of course, this is all IMO.
