CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[White Heather]

I would have thought that August would be 100K +

They had more than that every week in August 2019.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

They had more than that every week in August 2019.

Roll on Summer 22!

 

[Seasider]

They had more than that every week in August 2019.

I was trying to show a little optimism. We can't keep comparing with 2019, Covid has caused a big hiatus so we are starting from scratch. (which was the case in April/May 2020)

The September Pax figures are on the CAA website - 146750. At least it is going in the right direction.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Thanks for the,"heads up". The next 2 days are going to be busy for me as I set up my various airport files, records and reports!

 

[Scottie Dog]

As of 22 October, the following airports are not yet available for reporting and therefore excluded: Aberdeen, Belfast City (George Best), Belfast International, Bristol, Dundee, Glasgow, Liverpool, Oxford and Southampton. The next scheduled refresh of airport publications will be week commencing 1 November 2021.

The October pax figures are on the CAA website - 177258 - again an encouraging figure.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Provisional report for October. As various airports have not yet supplied the CAA with data I will provide a fuller update once all figures are available - this may not be about another 3 weeks. Data is taken from the CAA website - tables 3, 9, 12.1, 12.2 & 13

After next week's Consultative Meeting, I will be able to show the year to date figures for LBA, and a comparison to 2019, which graphically illustrates the impact of the pandemic.

 

[Scottie Dog]

It'll be interesting to see how their figures compare with mine - bearing in mind that not all UK airports are included in the initial CAA data release, and I don't have 2019 numbers.

 

[Seasider]

The provisional figures for November still not been published on the CAA website. Can't we go back to the system they used a few years ago when they were published between the 12th and 15th of the following month.

 

[Scottie Dog]

The only advantage, from a personal point of view, is that I can finally start working on the last (release 3) set of figures for October. So much to do and so little time to do it - November will hopefully be published this week and "might" include ALL data??

You'll be lucky

Comments on other LBA threads re number of sustainable operators on the Belfast route, prompted me to check the CAA passenger figures for the last 3 months (Aug, Sep, Oct)

BHD British A/W 3991; 2905; 4740;
BFS easyJet 4996; 5716; 6020;

A total of 28368. I am not going to try and work load factors out ( I haven't got the patience of Scottie Dog) but I would have thought that there was enough traffic (at this time) to warrant a third airline (Flybe?) on the route.

So, easyJet are carrying more pax than BACF are to Belfast City. Just proves the point I made that Belfast international serves far more than Belfast, whilst easyJet themselves are a big attraction in themselves. Those figures are only likely to increase too in more normal times (if we ever see more normal times).

Would be interesting to compare our EZY stats to EMA as they have the same amount of rotations. I would rather have 2 operators on the route now until demand picks up, but can still definitely see 3 if required. I though Eastern was interested in a BHD service also?

 

[Seasider]

The November passenger figures are now on their website with a slightly different layout - hope it includes everything for Scottie Dog. There were 113069 pax for the month, at this rate they will be lucky to achieve 750K for 2021. At least it was better than 2020.
