CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[White Heather]

Im betting with the tui and wizz news this week and increased jet2 and ryanair next year(plus other strong rumours im hearing) we could overtake the likes of LPL and NCL in pax figures next year!

Pretty sure LBA has been ahead of LPL for most of, or maybe all if this year. It suffered from all those easyJet cancellations in Spring.

 

[Coathanger16]

For the 12 months up to July 2022:

NCL - 3,036,425
EMA - 2,462,252
LPL - 2,414,375 (missing July 2022 figures)
LBA - 2,402,641

For the 3 months up to June 2022:

NCL - 1,220,141
LBA - 1,001,616
EMA - 998,755
LPL - 997,786

Which nicely illustrates the strength of the recovery at LBA.

Now winter is looking like the strongest in a long time due to Wizz, a strong FR program, Flybe & easy back & Jet2 operating their usual. positive. Hopefully the winter will be nice to us..!

I have everything crossed the weather will be as kind as the schedule as the Wizz timings in many cases are just the sorts of times the weather can cause havoc at LBA!

I wonder what their 1st choice diversion airfield will be?

 

[Finger66]

Wont be the Diversion Secondary Airport thats for sure!

 

[mdobuk21]

Probably Liverpool

Probably Liverpool

And LBA could also attract any Wizz LPL diverts from now onwards.

 

[Finger66]

Yeah we previously got them from DSA so absolutely no reason why not - space permitting of course

And Swissport permitting too!

Jet2 ground handling could make a fortune at LBA if they took on handling for the other airlines during the quiet winter period for Jet2 themselves. Seems a shame having staff under utilised some days when Swissport are running around like idiots trying to cope with more flights than they are staffed to handle. And all they get for doing so is stick from disgruntled passengers!

Obviously Swissport are still short staffed but they seem to have more people now than a few months ago. It’s also been a while since I’ve seen any of their aircraft waiting at stands to be Marshalled in so suggests an improvement in staffing.

 

[Seasider]

CAA pax at 435307 for August 2022.

 

[White Heather]

CAA pax at 435307 for August 2022.

Just 693 less than my estimate then!

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Probably Liverpool

Or Birmingham. If both's weather windows are restrictive/or weather is crap then I would imagine Wizz Air are a "get it on the ground" kinda airline and sort the repercussions out once safely down.

 

[Finger66]

Or even Hammersmith if it had an airport! One for those of you with a cryptic mindset to perhaps think about!

Good to see that LBA carried more monthly passengers than both EMA and LPL. Yearly running total is almost as much as EMA and not far behind LPL. With the addition of Wizz, the winter statistics which tend to dip more than competitor airports, will hopefully now hold up and we have the potential to carry more annual passengers and move up the CAA airport list.

I'm wondering how much closer to 5m Wizz and Tui will bring us.

 

[HX3]

LBAYORKE I think the combined annual seats will be about 500k for Wizz and Tui, so with other extras from Jet2 and Ryanair, it may be possible. I suppose it’ll depend on the economy and inflation, as people will have other priorities to think about such as winter fuel bills.

We need to get back to 4m first.
