Bristol Airport passengers down 11.9%
20.07.09
Passenger traffic for June at Bristol Airport was 11.9% lower than in 2008. Domestic traffic was 7.6% lower, primarily due to reduced flights from easyJet and Air Southwest, partially offset by the new Ryanair service to Belfast City.
International traffic was down 10.1%, predominantly due to reduced easyJet and Ryanair frequencies and the suspension of Lufthansa’s Frankfurt service. Charter traffic was 19.2% down due to the ongoing impact of the loss of XL Airways and a reduction in ad-hoc charter traffic.
In the 12 months to the end of June the airport had 5.7m passengers, down 8.3% on the previous 12 month period. Domestic passengers were down 10.2% (1.1m), international passengers down 2.3% (3.5m) and charter passengers down 23% (1.0m).
