Glasgow Airport passengers up for second month
12.03.11
Glasgow Airport has seen a rise in passenger numbers for the second month running, with 3.9% more people (416,252) passing through the hub in February. The airport saw a rise in domestic traffic of 2.5% with the number of international passengers up by 6.6%.
A spokesman for the airport said the second consecutive monthly rise showed that, after a difficult period, the airport had ‘entered a period of re-growth’. Managing director Amanda McMillan added: ‘The numbers suggest a renewed confidence among passengers and this is being reflected in the decisions made by a number of airlines.'
‘Like other UK airports, we endured a difficult 2010, but we have been working closely with our airline partners to enhance our route network and increase capacity, and I'm please this has yielded positive results.’
In the year to the end of February, the airport had 6.57m passengers, down 8.0% on the previous 12 month period. Rival Edinburgh Airport had 8.7m, down 3.7%.
