CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[Bigman]

July stats are out and we are showing a drop of 0.4% from 503,330 to 501,352. Donny fared worse with a 9% drop from 153,444 to 139,863.

Obviously the information I was given was "duff". I shall ignore next time.

August pax figures are out - 520 169 down 1%.

 

[Bigman]

Manny were down 0.6%, Humberside down 5.4% and Donny were down 10.6%, so not a great month for the North.

 

[White Heather]

That is one hell of a drop for DSA in what is supposed to be their busiest month of the year. Not good and they should be worried.

Don`t forget the Monarch effect on Manchester and Leeds

Don`t forget the Monarch effect on Manchester and Leeds

It isn't just the Monarch effect here at LBA mullion, it is also the British Airways effect, as they have reduced their flights by 50%, and on top of that, we have the lesser impact of the loss of the Eastern flights to Aberdeen and a reduction in flights to Southampton too. Fortunately Jet2 have increased their offerings and Thomas Cook have made a come back (albeit not the based A320 they originally promised), so a 1% drop in our busiest month is to be expected and is no disaster.

CAA Stats September 2018

Published today and show that 464,524 passengers used the terminal in the month, up 0.3% on September 2017. Atms were down 9.2%. Rolling 12-month total was 4,009,789, down 0.7% on a year ago.

 

[AirBingley]

Heathrow loads are very encouraging with 9,112 passengers carried on 84 rotations - average 108. Assuming 10 seats blocked at the front for Club that is getting us to a LF of 80%.

 

[lbaspotter]

September 2018 was the last month for Logan Glasgow route. Now get past the October 2018 stats and the Monarch effect should recede.
Hoping the numbers should increase over the winter as Jet2 have more flights this winter, but the BA service reduction will remain in place until March 2019 figures.

 

[Bigman]

Just to add a bit of much needed positivity to the recent negative proceedings, we were up 6.3% in October according to the CAA stats.

Delighted with that news !

 

[Bigman]

I guess that explains why it has taken so long for the Donny figures to be uploaded....down a massive 19%...OUCH!!!

 

[White Heather]

A big drop, even by DSA standards.

A completely left field view might be: Dwindling numbers = desperate measures = making TUI a deal they couldn't resist?

I wouldn't think such a thing is particularly left field. It is clear that these days airports have to provide incentives to get airlines in and then to keep them there, and some airports probably have to do this more than others. I am sure also that some airport owners are more able/willing to give greater incentives than others too. Whether that applies to DSA and whether that has impacted on TUi's operations from LBA is anyone's guess. I have already made my guess though...……...

Me too ;-)

 

[White Heather]

I’m really suprised Ryanair haven’t taken advantage of DSA and screwed a real good long term deal out of them...MOL getting soft in his old age.

But they did operate from there and it didn't do very well did it? So they left again. Just like Easyjet. And Aer Lingus.

 

[Finger66]

I wonder if the Y/LEP are going to publish an inaccurate article about these DSA woes? Now let me Think about the answer to that one!

 

[Seasider]

Why are we discussing DSA passenger figures?
