CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[Statto]

Wizz should add something like 250k to 300k passengers
TUI only about 50k if nothing more is added

That's assuming that the arrival of Wizz on the Polish routes doesn't negatively impact bookings on Ryanair Buzz. If it does then the net gain will be less.

Cluj Napoca and Bucharest will add something to the airport and brand new customers/additional pax through the terminal.

That is precisely the reason I wasn't a huge advocate of Wizz coming in. Whilst they have added 2 new routes, clearly both of which must sell well, the dilution of pax on the Polish routes could, negatively, impact passenger numbers. I hope not.

Well we now have high cost Jet2:, Low cost Cost Ryanair & ultra low cost Wizz. I think between Wizz and Ryanair they will see off Jet2 on the Krakow route.

Now let's see what Ryanair's next move is. As I think they will be up for a battle!

Jet2 offer City Breaks to Krakow and offer a different product to the other two. I am hoping they can stay on the route tbh. Wizz Air's timings on return from Krakow are shocking.

100% they'll be up to battle. However I hope this will in the longer term result in for example an additional based aircraft. Although rumour has it there's a mutual respect between Ryanair and WizzAir. A unspoken "you don't go here and we wont go there" sort of thing.

Just before this thread goes too off-track -I've seen very few of the last posts actually relating to "Statistics" here are some comparison figures for the North of England and Midlands. The percentage change only relates to August 2022 versus August 2021.

This is really interesting. I'm now going to say this. If you remove Manchester from the graph it'll be interesting to see the graphic representation of stats.

 

[Scottie Dog]

How does this version suit you?

Looks like we couldn’t get going in the first 4 months of the year compared to Liverpool but now we are giving them a thrashing. Be interesting to see the tail end of the year. Thank you.

Likewise for NCL, great to see them recovering well also. probably because Jet2 didn't kick into action until Apr/May

Another data analysis spurred on by @Scottie Dog

August 2022 - North of England Airport Stats

The below table shows the year-to-date terminal passengers for airports in the "North of England". BHX can also be added so let me know if you would like it included.

The first column shows that LBA had 2,703,433 terminal passengers over the last year up until August 2022 (only ~27,000 behind EMA and ~300,000 behind LPL)

The next column shows that LBA is currently the 14th largest airport (passenger numbers wise) out of all UK airports (the stats don't include IOM, JER, GCI etc)).

The last column shows that LBA grew by 11% in August 2022 when comparing the same data from July 2022 - which is better than any other airport in the region.

 

[White Heather]

I wouldn't mind betting that if you looked at the last 6 months only, LBA will have been promoted from 14th place.

 

[Severn]

The rate of change at LBA over the last six months has been more than at other airports, just ahead of EMA, LBA and DSA.

The ranking however, is based purely on the the number of passengers each airport handles in the year - not on the rate of change. The 13 airports above LBA in the rankings will probably have handled more pax over the 6 months than LBA, so LBA may well be still in 14th place.

LBA will remain the 14th largest airport in the UK unless it handles more passengers than EMA over the last year at which time it will be the 13th largest airport in the UK. When the Sept figures are released, who knows LBA may be "promoted"!

Maybe, but the ranking is based purely on the the number of passengers each airport handles in the year - not on the rate of change - you're right though that would also be an interesting statistic.

LBA will remain the 14th largest airport in the UK unless it handles more passengers than EMA for example at which time it will be the 13th largest airport in the UK. When the Sept figures are released, who knows LBA may be "promoted"!

Well it might be next year with us getting Wizz air and also more with TUI. But we will have to see.

My comment was based on reports that for a number of months during the summer, LBAs.passenger.figures exceeded both LPL and EMA..

It is now nearly the end of October and still no release from CAA for September.

 

[YorkshireLad]

I'd expect it tomorrow. It has recently been known to come out on Fridays if my memory serves me right

 

[Scottie Dog]

This thread is, in my opinion, suffering from "drift" at the moment. The September CAA stats should be with us in the next 48 hours and, at that point these "drifted" posts will be moved to a more suitable thread.
Thank you for your understanding.

[Scottie Dog]

All recent irrelevant posts have now been moved to the Leeds General Thread. Please feel free to continue your discussion of matters that do not relate directly to the CAA Provisional Statistics title on that thread.

Thank you.
