CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[TheLocalYokel]

I’ve looked at all the regular EXT routes, both scheduled and charter, for 2007 which is the best year for passenger numbers in the airport’s history (1.012 million), and those for 2016, the most recent full year. I’ve ignored one-off charters and other ad hoc services. All figures courtesy of CAA

Edinburgh and Glasgow were down noticeably in 2016 as were Alicante and Malaga although Palma, Tenerife and Arrecife showed decent rises in 2016 but Faro was down. Paris CDG was also significantly down in 2016.

Manchester showed a huge rise in 2016 and London City (not operating in 2007) also contributed substantially as did Isles of Scilly which had really become a shuttle by 2016.

EXT also suffered in 2016 through the reductions in Turkey and with Funchal and Malta.

Many thanks TheLocalYokel for taking time to post the EXT passenger figures for 2007 and 2016.

September 2017

CAA stats have finally been published today. 90,247 passengers were handled in the month, up 0.56% on September 2016. Rolling 12-month total was 884,095, up 6.3% on the figure this time last year.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

November 2017

CAA stats show 58,905 passengers used the terminal, up 12.5% on November 2018. Atms were down 1.7% which suggests that loads this year must have been much higher across the board. Rolling 12-month total was 898,057, up 6.8% on a year ago.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

December 2017

CAA stats show that 62,617 passengers used the terminal, up a remarkable 19.5% on December 2016. Atms were down by 1.7%. Rolling 12-month total and the total for the calendar year, was 908,260, up 7.2% on 2016.

This is the first time for a number of years that the annual total has exceeded 900,000. Passenger figures were up on many routes with MAN showing 1,600 more and EDI over 1,000 more than the corresponding month in 2016.

Excellent news for EXT.

Hopefully passenger figures for EXT will surpass the one million mark in the next twelve months.

You're probably more au fait with EXT than I am. Recently I posted a publication from the EXT management elsewhere in the EXT forum that looks forward to a promising 2018 but I don't know whether the programme for the main part of 2018 is sufficiently advanced over 2017 to provide that extra 100,000 passengers to break the million barrier.

Does it seem that it might?

Hopefully the load factors on existing planned flights to/from EXT throughout the year will continue to improve further. Plus the second weekly Dalaman flight reinstated this summer should also help.

Their current routes is the only way they can achieve continued growth as they don't have any new services apart from the Superbreak flights.

Probably a case of consolidating on the existing routes in the current climate, as far as the airport is concerned.

Looking forward to the future could Italy be a possibility for Flybe out of Exeter? I'm surprised they don't do Verona already.

November was up 12.5% and December 19.5%. Taking 12.5% as a starter, if the rest of the winter sees rises of that magnitude in January, February and March EXT would handle nearly 20,000 more passengers than in the corresponding three months of 2017. A 12.5% gain throughout the year would of course take the airport easily through the 1 mppa barrier.

However, there seems little to suggest that in the summer months such a consistent rise could be maintained. In August for example another 12,700 passengers would have to be found to gain 12.5% on August 2017.

For all that 2018 should be another good year with 1 mppa seemingly nailed on for 2019.

And then hopefully other airlines/operators will have EXT on the radar....

CAA Stats January 2018

A good start to the new calendar year.

CAA Stats March 2018

57,769 passengers were handled in the month, down 5.6% on March 2017. Atms were down 7.9%. Rolling 12-month total was 915,764, up 6.2% on a year ago.

A number of airports were down in March, partly because of the high number of cancelled flights brought about by the severe weather.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

CAA Stats April 2018

74,967 passengers were handled in the month, down 0.9% on April 2017. Atms were down 6.9%. Rolling 12-month total was 915,066, up 4.4% on a year ago.

Thanks TheLocalYokel for posting. At least the rolling 12-month total still continues to increase.
