CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[White Heather]

Updated on LBA Fb, but in their image they forgot to change it from June 23. I elected not to comment on there, I didn’t want to feed the trolls.

It's been amended and now says April 2024

Thanks WH

Pax figures for March are on the CAA website (they are late) are 265 727.

How does that compare to Mar 23?

 

[Seasider]

About 12% more, I believe.

Here's hoping our tin pot terminal can survive this and next Summer before the extension becomes operational.It really is going to be under some serious pressure.

How does that compare to Mar 23?

I'll be doing my full analysis for March '24 later this evening.

Okay so here you are - I had forgotten that I don't have old enough records to be able to give a comparison for 2019 v 2024.

I didn't realise at the time of WH posting, that April pax were only 2.5% better than last year. I hope that doesn't carry on all summer.

A 2.5% increase in summer pax would be 2.5% higher than the terminal can cope with as it is now, so wouldn't be in any sense a disaster. In fact, it would be pretty difficult to manage at peak times.

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

Well done Scottie Dog, the figures are really encouraging for LBA, and we have out performed all the major airports in the UK.

Well, almost. BRS has seen nearly a 19% rise in pax movement numbers from 2019 to 2024 vs LBA’s excellent 7.78%

CAA data for April is now available and individual airport statistics will be published by the end of this week.

In the meantime a comparison of data for all UK airports can be found at https://forums4airports.com/threads/5728/page-2#post-286004

Pax figures for May - 414 449 +8%.

Checking my spreadsheet, that is the first time over 400K in May.

My usual full report will follow as soon as possible.

As promised here is my analysis of the CAA data for May:

 

[White Heather]

Interesting data. Some notable reductions on some Spanish routes, yet Girona & Reus have a huge increases. Good to see the increase on Cluj Napoça too, a route served only by Wizz Air. Bucharest up too but no doubt that's due to the additional flights now Ryanair also operate the route.
Santorini up yet Jet2 are dropping it next year from LBA. Porto up too but so far not on sale from Ryanair going forward?

 

[Seasider]

Well, it is the 16th of the month, 5pm so I don't expect June figures to be out on time.

That's okay then, I'm on holiday and so stats can wait until Monday!!
