Big passenger drop at Cardiff Airport
01.10.09
Cardiff Airport has fallen to its lowest place in the UK airport rankings for four years, the Western Mail reports that new passenger number figures show. The airport fell behind Southampton to 20th in the most recent figures released by the Civil Aviation Authority for the year from August 2008 to the end of July 2009, with passenger numbers of 1.78m, nearly 300,000 (17%) down on the previous year.
Cardiff has only fallen so low in the rankings once before in the last 20 years, for a brief spell during 2005. For the year from July 2008 to June 2009, it was ranked one position higher in the UK airport league table at 19th. Cardiff’s nearest rival, Bristol, showed passenger numbers from August 2008 to July 2009 dropping by 562,000 to 5.6 million.
