Norwich airport celebrates growth
18.03.07
Norwich Airport was one of the country's fastest growing airports last year, figures released by the Civil Aviation Authority reveal. It had the fourth highest year-on-year rise in passengers outside the London terminals.
Norwich celebrated in 2005, when more than half a million people passed through the airport for the first time, but last year this had shot up by 200,000 to 746,716, the CAA figures reveal. The number of 'aircraft movements' - aircraft flying in and out of the airport - was also up by 24 percent in 2006 to 21,350.
Richard Jenner, Norwich Airport Managing Director, said: 'It's mainly down to the impact of the first full year of Flybe. This year we think passenger numbers will be about 800,000. The year after we should see a bigger increase when Flybe gets all its aircraft on-stream.'
