Passengers up 3% at HIAL airports
04.08.08
The number of passengers passing through Highlands and Islands airports reached a record 1.2m in the year to the end of March. Highlands and Islands Airports Limited (HIAL) said the figure represented a 3% increase on last year. The airports reporting the greatest gains in passenger numbers were Kirkwall on Orkney with a 9% increase and Sumburgh on Shetland with 13%.
However, its newly-released annual report and accounts show a trading loss for the period of £724,000 after tax. The loss came despite the company generating a record £15m in revenue. Subsidies received from the Scottish Government for the year totalled £29.2m.
In the accounts HIAL say that one of the highlights of the past year was the transfer of Dundee Airport to its ownership.
