That doesn't seem a bad performance does it, considering the loss of Thomas Cook part way through the month and the scaling back of Flybe?

Yes not as bad as feared. Would've been a very good month if not for the loss of TCX and Flybe going down to 2 aircraft.

Thanks Jerry. To be positive DOH and AMS flying along.

Yep it's quite probable that both got a boost due to the world cup and KLM got an extra one from the ending of the Flybe routes.

that’s probably it. If only 5% of the increase was not down to the world cup though that’s still good news.

Doha is up 24% on last year which is good news. 205 tonnes of freight. 194 inbound and 11 outbound.

4.6% drop isn't as bad as I feared with the loss of the Flybe base and some routes.

Good to see Amsterdam still climbing, also Edinburgh and Dublin.

Yep passenger numbers wise it's been a good year.
Cardiff Airport saw 1,654,920 passengers use the airport in 2019 up 4.8% on 2018.
This is the highest the passenger numbers have been since 2009 when it saw 1,625,000 passengers use it.
There will obviously be a drop next year but overall the airport is in a better condition passenger numbers wise and I hope will go back to an upward trend in 2021.

if it could get an enhanced Ryanair presence or Jet2, or even a bit of both, annual passenger numbers would easily climb well north of 2 million. Either or both might be on the scene in 2021.

CWL followers should also keep an eye on developments across the Severn because if BRS is anchored at its current 10 mppa planning consent figure that would be bound to impact positively on CWL.

It's likely that 2020 will see a drop of about 200,000 passengers from the TCX and Flybe cuts. So that'll put the airport to roughly back to 1.45 million passengers a year. So to get over 2 million would require over 550,000 extra passengers. So what the equivalent of 3 to 4 based aircraft from airlines? The airport management would definitely deserve a pat on the back if they could achieve that growth even if it's spread over 2 to 3 years.

Probably about that. I believe that Jet2 don't typically work their aircraft as hard as easyJet or Ryanair. easyJet invariably does six sectors a day, sometimes eight and sometimes four when longer routes are involved. Ryanair too ferquently does six sectors a day whereas from what I've been told Jet2 will often work four sectors a day per aircraft.
