Bristol Airport passengers down 3.5%
20.08.09
Passengers at Bristol Airport were down 3.5% in July compared to a year earlier. Domestic traffic was 1.1% lower, primarily due to reduced flights from easyJet, partially offset by the new Ryanair service to Belfast City.
International traffic increased by 2.4%, due to the launch of eleven new routes by Ryanair. Charter traffic was 20.1% down due to the ongoing impact of the loss of XL Airways and fewer ad-hoc charter flights. However, new charter operator Kiss Flights commenced services to Sharm el-Sheikh and Tenerife in early July.
In the year to the end of July passengers were down 9.2% on the previous 12 months to 5.6m. Domestic passengers were down 9.6% (1.1m), international passengers down 3.9% (3.5m) and charter passengers down 23.8% (1.0m).
