[Scottie Dog]

Following on from Ian's report, here is my take on the July CAA figures. I have also included a file with the comparative July figures since 2019.

 

[IanFarquharson]

September pax will be just short of 1.35m so 2.5% up on 2024 but not a record September as 2017 was 1.363m

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

September pax will be just short of 1.35m so 2.5% up on 2024 but not a record September as 2017 was 1.363m

How’s Saudia doing Ian?
