Yes, during April the BA flight was still at 5 times per week (Daily except Wednesday and Saturday.) That leaves 21 roundtrips for the month of April or 42 flights. Each flight holds 214. 42 X 214 = 8,988. 7102 passengers carried works out to about 169 passengers per flight or a load factor of 79%.

As for Aeromar, it's not really surprising that the gap between Aeromar and Allegiant is huge. Allegiant flies to Las Vegas 4 times per week using mainline jets seating over 150 passengers. Aeromar operates 5 times per week (M-F) with 50 seat regional jets. If Aeromar filled 1074 out of 2200 available seats in April, that works out to about a 49% load factor.

Mexico City was one of the target markets that qualified for incentives, so even though they may not be flying very many people, that - with the incentives - may be enough to make them profitable. Plus, we don't know what kind of fares they are getting.
