Blackpool Airport passengers down 25%
15.03.10
Blackpool Airport bosses say the hub is looking to a brighter future – despite a sharp fall in passenger numbers. The loss of Irish carrier Ryanair meant Blackpool saw an almost 25 percent decrease in fliers compared to January last year. Bad weather, with the airport closed for much of a two week period due to snow and ice, also contributed to the poor passenger figures.
Just 4,875 people passed through the terminal in January, compared to 6,118 12 months previous. But airport bosses have blamed the departure of Ryanair for the figures and insisted that the business is in a better financial position this year compared to previous years. They are looking forward to a good summer season with many destinations already being booked up.
