Many thanks to @Matt995 for his take on the CAA October statistics and here is my version.

Where does the time go? I was about to prep my sheets in preparation for the CAA's December data and then I realised I had not posted November's numbers. Anyway, here they are!!

As surely as day follows night, December statistics follow November.

Here is my take on the January statistics since 2019:

February data from the CAA is now available and my usual comparison of statistics for the month of February from 2019 to 2026 is given below. E&OE apply but the data is accurate to the best of my ability.

Whilst the CAA data for May is available there is the following proviso. As a result I will not be updating this specific thread until such time as full details are available. I trust you will understand.

16 July 2026: the following airports are not yet available for reporting for and are therefore excluded: Barra, Benbecula, Cambeltown, Dundee, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick John O Groats. The May datasets will be republished as soon as the data becomes available.

My apologies for not having provided a report for May and I find it is too late now to update my records as I have already produced the June report!! Having said that, the following proviso applies to Table 3 data - Movements:

17 August 2026: Non-commercial service data for Aberdeen, Alderney, Dundee, Inverness, Southampton and Sumburgh airports is currently unavailable and is therefore excluded from Table 3 Aircraft Movements. All other tables are complete. Table 3 will be updated when the missing data becomes available.
