Good evening from Cockermouth. Here is my take on May's statistics as provided by the CAA.

The number of passengers in June 2025 was down - second month in a row - cannot think of any reason why - any ideas ?

Interesting. Bristol hasn't really lost any capacity compared to last year has it?

Not that I am aware of - indeed the end of June saw the 19th easyjet based there
Although there was less passenger aircraft movements according to the report - I thought there was growth in that

I'm away on holiday at present, however I will try to have my analysis ready for Monday evening.

Had a quick look at the CAA stats and many significant routes are down. UK domestic with the exception of Inverness and Isle of Man is all minus. Routes like Alicante, Faro, Tenerife, Berlin are all minus. Amsterdam is down 20%. It'll be interesting to see if the down continues for July or if this is just a blip.

I can only speak from the POV of my local airport (GLA), we were down around 5k, but all of that was a decline in the German market caused by the Euros being on last year.

Here is my take on the CAA data for June.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Data is now available from the CAA for July and here is my usual 'take' on the figures. I have also produced a report showing the July comparative figures since Covid.

 

[Marko1]

Bristol handled a record 1.2 million in August this year

What is your source? The August 2024 figure was also 1.2 million.

A record 1.2 million passengers used Bristol Airport last month

Bristol Airport celebrated its busiest month ever with more than 1.2 million customers using the Airport in August and many travelling on more fuel efficient and quieter aeroplanes.

Thanks. Hadn’t seen that article. I think it’s a pretty minimal increase on Aug 24.

 

[Scottie Dog]

I'm not sure what has happened to my previous monthly statistical reports, but here is the one for August.

 

[Scottie Dog]

I was just about to look at loading the September data for Bristol, however I have noted that the data from Table 3 - Movements - is missing. I have emailed my contact within the CAA and will update when I have received a reply. This is likely to be towards the end of the week.

Last month was the busiest October ever for the airport with over 1 million pax for the first time. Another huge milestone for the airport.
