It's good to see passenger numbers up 594%, over the previous disastrous year, but we still have along way to go. With a few routes now establishing year round services things will hopefully improve, I wonder what the load was like on the new FR Belfast service today?
 
As a comparison this was the numbers for 2019

CAA Stats for 2019
Cardiff Wales Airport saw 1,656,085 passengers use the airport in 2019 up 5% on 2018.
The airport saw 1803 tonnes of freight pass through the airport up 24% on 2018.

I saw a post that suggested the load was 80 too 90 on the inbound. Idk about the outbound.
 
Thanks Scottie, nice to see another rise in numbers, February being one of the quietest months, the airport is heading back towards a million passengers a year, but still a long way to go.
 
Here is my take on the CAA data for April 2023. For some reason the CAA seem to have omitted Table 3 which contains Air Transport Movements and therefore I have had to leave that section blank. I have emailed the CAA for an explanation and, hopefully, I may receive a response at some time (my normal contact appears to have left).

The CAA has now published Table 3 and therefore this report is now complete.

Thanks Scottie nice to see Amsterdam doing well, but surprised to see some of the most popular sun routes down a little, e.g. Alicante and Tenerife.

Well Alicante and Tenerife have lost capacity from Wizz.
 
I'm trying to get my head around May 23 vs May 22 figures mainly surrounding charter numbers. The below comparison is showing several routes with quite large drops in passenger numbers.
Did TUI do a later start to their holiday flights in May? The figures appear to be a shadow of passenger numbers on those routes in 2019.

Larnaca -399 passengers
Corfu -1249 passengers
Heraklion -1319 passengers
Kos -722 passengers
Zakynthos -1519 passengers
Ibiza -2075
Palma -2330 passengers
Reus -1132 passengers
Bourgas -693 passengers

Tenerife +472 passengers
Rhodes +786

One thing of significant note is the increase to AMS, but still a long way to go to reach the 13k levels of 2019.
Amsterdam + 3861.

Interestingly, even with FR going daily to DUB carrying 6604 passengers, in 2019 Flybe were carrying 8184 and 9192 in 2018.
Still a long way to go but the potential is there!
 
Thanks Scottie, a disappointing month figures wise, WIZZ not operating is obviously having an affect, although it's nice to see Amsterdam doing well.
 
Those figures show that CWL is absolutely desperate for some low-cost carrier to take on the PMI route from summer 2024 as a priority I’d say!
 
As some of you may be aware I have been going through a difficult time of recent and, as a result, my compilation of statistics has taken a bit of a back seat.

As soon as I am able to I will return with monthly data and in the meantime I would ask that you bear with me.

Well over 4 million steps taken this year already. And about 12,500 photos.
The joys of travel. Train from Edinburgh to Leeds is cancelled so having another night in Edinburgh and heading back in the morning!
Tbf Edinburgh isn't a bad city to be stuck in.
A week off work done which resulted in 6 day trips , 50 miles walked and only 2500 photos, Going to work is more of a holiday as I tended to be out of my flat an hour earlies in my week off and back for after 8pm
according to some people, you only need 1 day in each of the Yorkshire Dales, North Wales and Lake District "to have seen it all". Which is why its minibus tour number 3 this year of the Yorkshire Dales for me on 16th October. Different routes and different things to see each tour.
Apologies for any issues today, I was planning on updating the site but sadly something went wrong so the upgrade has been postponed. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused.
