Still, demand is expected to be recovering in other regions with holiday bookings being particularly strong, Peel Hunt says.
–CAPACITY: Passengers are expected to be around 15.3 million, slightly above the numbers seen in the fourth quarter of 2021 with a load factor–a measure of how full a plane is–expected at 69.2%, analysts at Peel Hunt say .
–STAFF SHORTAGES: Investors are expected to focus on a resolution to BA’s staffing issues, UBS’s Castle says.
