Load Factor Advice

[Karl]

The program highlights load factor by percentage and color.  It is obvious that green = better load factor than yellow or red.

I strive to keep my load factors in the green zone; however, when I do my route planning research, I see a lot of route pairs that have over capacity.  It seems that other airlines find lower load factors and acceptable cost to serve a route.

Is it possible to make money and successfully avoid bankruptcy with load factors in the yellow and red zones?

You can easily run profit on 60% load factor airline, depending on the aircraft and routes. It is usually due to competition. You may find they shoot up to 75% if the competitor bankrupts and then you get even more profits because the fares of those extra passengers is virtually all profit.
