Prestwick Airport passengers down 31%
02.02.10
Just 107,033 passengers passed thought Prestwick Airport in December, down 31% than a year earlier but in line with recent trends. The airport's winter sun destinations continue to perform well, with strong load factors, with the loss of passengers coming primarily from domestic UK and Irish routes axed by Ryanair in the last 12 months.
The airport also benefited from the bad winter weather conditions in December, handling diversions from Heathrow, Gatwick, Dublin, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Flights from airlines including Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, BMI, Logan air, and easyJet were handled.
Freight volumes for December were 877 tonnes, a 25% reduction on last year.
