Passengers up 8.4% at Bristol Airport
20.12.07
Bristol Airport reported passengers 8.4% higher in November compared to the same month a year earlier. Domestic traffic was 9.2% lower due to the cessation of BA Connect's services in March, but International traffic increased 21.6%, benefiting from the opening of the new Ryanair base at the hub last month.
Charter traffic was 7.4% lower in November as a result of a reduction in capacity due to the ongoing consolidation in the inclusive tour sector. In the 12 months to the end of November domestic passengers were down 9.3%, charter passengers down 1.3% and international passengers up 10.4%, with overall passengers up 2.6% to just over 5.8m.
