[textarea]Passengers up 5.3% at Southampton Airport
The number of passengers using Southampton Airport were up 5.3% last month compared to a year earlier. Together with Heathrow - which was up by just 0.4 per cent - it was the only BAA airport to show growth in March.
BAA blamed the BA cabin crew strikes, the weather, an early Easter and (in Scotland in particular) the loss of flights from failed airline Flyglobespan for the poor numbers. In the year to the end of Match passengers were down 5.1% (1.8m) at Southampton Airport.
