Plymouth Airport passengers up 31%
29.09.08
Plymouth City Airport has been ranked as the second fastest growing airport in the country after official figures revealed a 31% increase in passenger numbers. The growth was attributed to the introduction of new flights earlier this year to Glasgow, Newcastle, Dublin and Cork by Plymouth-based low fare regional airline Air Southwest.
Civil Aviation Authority figures just released for June show a 31% increase in the number of passengers using the airport, compared to the same period last year. That compares with a national average drop in passenger numbers of 1%.
Plymouth City now serves 10 destinations. From December 20, Air Southwest will run a new weekly service from Plymouth to the French ski resort of Grenoble.
