Birmingham Airport handled almost 12.7 million passengers in 2019, an increase of 1.6% on the previous year.

In 2019, the airport served a total of 12,639,340 passengers, with the best performing months in comparison to the previous year including; January, with a total of 781,282 passengers (+4.76%), April, with a total of 1,002,951 passengers (+4.21%) and July, with a total of 1,352,392 passengers (+3.06%). The busiest month overall was August, when over 1.4 million passengers were recorded in the month.

Scheduled passengers accounted for 83% of the 2019 total, with the remaining 17% travelling on charter services.

The top three routes of the year were Dublin, Dubai and Amsterdam, with Dublin serving almost a million people over the 12 months.

Several additional routes were introduced throughout 2019, including; Marsa Alam in Egypt, Krakow in Poland, Burgas in Bulgaria, Bodrum in Turkey, Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland and Vienna in Austria.

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays increased capacity on its network to Antalya, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife and TUI added more capacity to Lanzarote, Hurghada, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

Nick Barton, CEO at Birmingham Airport, said: “2019 saw our 80-year milestone, where we hosted celebrations with our local communities to mark the special birthday.

“On the whole, we saw monthly passenger growth in 2019. Despite the loss of Thomas Cook in the latter part of the year, we experienced a 1.6% passenger increase overall and we’ve been delighted to see airlines grow capacity from Birmingham.

“Looking forward to 2020, we’ve commenced work to extend our departure lounge by 45%, adding more space, seating, shops and restaurants. Opening in the early part of next year, it will provide a spacious and modern environment that helps cater for the forecast growth in passenger numbers, and is the biggest terminal investment we’ve made in ten years, costing £30m.

“We are also revising our existing carbon management plan and developing a roadmap, setting and prioritising carbon reduction objectives that will help meet our ambition to be a net-zero carbon airport by the year 2033.”

During the last month of the year in December, 814,042 passengers travelled through the airport, with 90% of passengers flying with scheduled carriers, and 10% flying with chartered carriers.

Routes which saw growth compared with December 2018 included: Verona, Italy (+47.29%), Sal Island, Cape Verde (+21.21%), Paphos, Cyrpus (+19.03%), and Cancun, Mexico (+8.53%).

Makes it sound like BHX has never had links to EDI and GLA before, when infact they have been operated for decades on multiple flights per day. Also, I assume this refers to the Easyjet services. Whilst they were announced in 2019 they won't be introduced until later in 2020.

Not too bad all things considered.

Rather than comments about the carbon management programme I'd have prefered Mr Barton to have mentioned welcoming more airlines and/or routes this coming year, if that's going to happen that is :cautious:
