"Via" Flight Question

If I have an intermediate stop ("via") at an airport at which my airline has traffic rights, is there a minimum amount of time that I should allow for passenger boarding before departing for the final destination? Should I wait for the minimum transfer time for that airport? 

No, when passengers continue on the same aircraft, the minimum transfer time does not matter. This applies in general, not only for via flights.

Thanks for your quick response. Will new passengers be able to board during this time?

Will new passengers be able to board during this time?

Yes. Actualy there is no difference between a via flight or two independent flights except for flights in Africa under the Yamoussoukro Decision.

Thanks again to both for the help!
