>...I submit you have not flown very often lately because I've never seen a plane 60% full in a long long time. The load factor will likely vary by location and time of day, but overall from April of 2023 to April of 2024, the load factor was about 83%. This is very close to the historical load factor for US airlines since 2010 or so (except for the COVID years). The only time the overall load factor was around 60% was in 2020. https://www.transtats.bts.gov/TRAFFIC/ https://www.transtats.bts.gov/TRAFFIC/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/691451/us-airline-passenger-load-factor/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/691451/us-airline-passen...
