How times have (not) changed. In May 2022 the largest carriers, by percentage of movements, were:
easyJet - 20.31%
Jet2 - 12.99%
Ryanair - 24.05%
Tui 9.68%

So far in May 2024 the share is:
easyJet - 20.89%
Jet2 - 11.99%
Ryanair 24.41%
Tui - 7.78%

The full set of April statistics, plus comparison with 2019, are now available:

Great to finally see T&T Pax MAT back north of 29M at 29,021,091

The equivalent record number to beat is 29,510,599 noted at the end of September 2019.

489,508 to go. Feels eminently achievable now.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Looking at my logs - from FR24 data - there were 7,134 movements for the period 1st-14th May 2023 and 7,977 for the same period in 2024. That's an 11.82% increase.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Okay everybody, we are now back to the top 25 routes by numbers and percentage increase for March 2024 - the monthly statistics were in post #1,180. My monthly report with load-factors for March will be produced tomorrow (Sunday).

 

[Scottie Dog]

As promised here is my take on the load-factors for selected routes. Please remember that Addis Ababa and Houston are routes where 2nd airports share the aircraft (Geneva & Singapore respectively) and therefore the load-factors shown are possibly only half of the potential figures - if that makes sense.

Whilst we wait for the CAA to publish data for April, you can find my analysis and comparison of March figures for 2019-2024 all UK airports at https://forums4airports.com/threads/5728/page-2

 

[Scottie Dog]

Manchester data for May is now available on their website - as given below. I also,as usual, provide my comparison of 2019 v 2024.

PS - typo error in the first screenshot. It is May and not March data.

A little time filler whilst the weather is in-climate:

Top performing airlines at Manchester by movements, and percentage share:

Ryanair - 4,342 - 24.00%
easyJet - 3,763 - 20.80%
Jet2 - 2,312 - 12.78%
TUI - 1,576 - 8.71%
Total Movements, all carriers - 18,089

 

[EGCC_MAN]

That post really underlines the importance of those four based short-haul* fleets to MAN's operation. Between them, they represent 66.29% of all ATM's through the airport. Basically, two-thirds of all MAN passenger flights depend on these four names.

Expansion by other operators is always appreciated and welcomed, but if we really want to understand the trajectory of the airport's prospects, the key is to track the ambitions and plans of these four based carriers. And MAG must do their utmost to ensure that their future expansion plans are not inhibited by terminal capacity or lack of parking stands.

* TUI includes an element of long-haul.

The latest CAA data is for April, so is not the size of UK airports as of 30/04/24 rather than 30/06/24? Also, is the total for Edinburgh not a record figure? Previous record figure was 14,768,010 for the year to end September 2019.

 

[Scottie Dog]

is that just for May?

A belated reply - yes that was for May.

Sorry as at 30.04.24 and yes sorry EDI is best ever 0.1% better not 0.1% below !

 

[Scottie Dog]

The CAA data is now available for April and I have now finished my calculation of the load-factors for specific routes. Dusseldorf appears, for some unknown reason, to have taken a nose-dive whilst Madrid had numerous charter/provate flights due to a certain football match.

Anyway, here you are:
