CAA Provisional Statistics Update

[Tarn Spotter]

have to say with all the new additions this year on last i.e. heathrow, and my experience on the 10th may, can see good growth on last year, we will see.

 

[White Heather]

OK guys, time to put you all out of your misery by giving you the May passenger stats, as reported to todays Consultative Committee meeting: I will give you the May 2013 figures and the May 2012 figures in brackets for comparison purposes. These are just the main figures, otherwise I would be here all day........

Domestic sched. pax 32,869 (25,528) + 28.66% (thank you BA!)

Foreign sched. pax 281,451 (234,156) + 20.20%

Inclusive Tour pax 14,092 (15,149) - 6.98%

General Charter pax 928 (753) + 23.24%

Total pax 329,340 (275,606) + 19.5%

Total 2013/14 pax (Apr/May) 584,395 (529,511) + 10.37%


Last weeks passenger throughput was up 25% on the same week in 2012. Yesterday morning's early Northbound and southbound BA shuttle flights both had more pax than the equivalent flights from MAN - which is a first. Passenger figures on the route are viewed as building nicely and the route has a very high rate of interlining passengers. Forward bookings are strong for all LBA carriers.

So working on them fig's that White Heather has just posted for May dose any know or able to work out if LBA has broke the rolling year 3 million pax mark already without any kind of announcement been made?

If not, I guess we are very close to it now.

 

[a300boy]

I suspected BA had been getting better loads recently as they have been backtracking for departure on runway 14 instead of rolling from intersection A.

 

[yorkshire]

that's a cracking increase of around 55000 more than last year , we might get our terminal finished now at that rate?...thought I would get in there with that comment before lufc pete does..but I do agree with him

Extremely impressive growth!

It's unlikely that 2013 as a whole will see 19.5% growth but it's obvious that the 3 mppa barrier will be rapidly disappearing in the rear-view mirror as the airport accelerates.

Wasn't there a sort of 'competition' some weeks ago where people had to guestimate the final passenger total for 2013?

Does anyone remember the highest guess/estimate?

 

[User0001]

The rolling number is 3,021,000 so definitely much better than expected. They are still biding their time in terms of making the PR announcement

 

[White Heather]

Fantastic news. Can we celebrate by updating the passenger throughput figures on the Board Index Aviador? :drinks:

 

[Tarn Spotter]

Great news that the 3M barrier broken.
Good news for airlines as well, passenger number up 4% on the year, but flight number down by 6%, the load factors obviously a lot higher over the year, should equal more profit.

 

[radar]

Flights may be down 6% year-on-year, but there were 8% more flights in May 2013 than in May 2012. That's a big jump. Even better, the passenger numbers were up nearly 20% in May (vs last May) so, even with a large increase in available seats, the load factors were strong.

I have been looking at Thomson's recent bookings and they are very impressive, only a few seats spare! Fantastic news though!

Just done that White Heather along with some of the others there. We still have some catching up to do with the likes of Aberdeen and London City. (I mean Aberdeen, really! )

Liverpool has moved down one place on the list in the big changes.

It seems my guess of between 15% and 25% increase wasn't a bad guess too. I don't think LS16 thought it was achievable but there you have it!

 

[harehills]

Can somebody please post a link to the stats or post the BA figures here. Thanks in advance

[Bigman]

Why is it that over a week since the figures came out, there is still no trumpet blowing and flag waving on the LBA website?? Are they missing a trick or what!!!

 

[lbaspotter]

I wonder if it might be tied in with the romoured fourthcoming new route announcement?

 

[Aviador]

As of 09:21 this morning, we're still waiting for the June passenger figures to be released by the CAA. I think we will see a very slight percentage reduction over last months whopping figure. My guess is for between 15% and 20% up on June last year.

 

[Seasider]

Most other airports have been announced, but not LBA.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

June 2013

CAA stats now published. LBA 387,217 passengers in June, up 12.9% on June 12.
Atms up 4.5%

Rolling 12-month total 3,065,971, up 4.6% on a year ago.

Excellent figures again!

Handled more passengers than Liverpool in June!

 

[Aviador]

Great to see the figures storming ahead and it adds weight to the rumours about further significant growth planned for next year. My guess was only 2.1% out, that's not bad going.

It's quite remarkable that LBA handled more passengers than Liverpool during June.

It's just a shame the airport can't build up some winter growth to push up the annual totals.

An interesting point to note is if the airport handled the same every month the airport would be handling 4.6 million but the airport will struggle to ever increase the winter offering with it's poor bad weather record.
