Prestwick Airport passenger falls ‘bottoming out’
17.07.09
Prestwick Airport’s passenger falls could be ‘bottoming out,’ MP Brian Donohoe told the Post. The latest statistics from airport operators Infratil show a total of 162,495 passengers used Prestwick in May – 20 percent down on 2008.
Annual figures are currently at the same level as those in 2005, with freight volumes around half the amount of last year. But Mr Donohoe told the newspaper: ‘All the indicators suggest that although the economy has shrunk more than anticipated, an end is in sight. People can see the world isn’t coming to an end and are determined to carry on as normal as possible. I believe the July and August peaks will help to even out the annual downturn. I am hoping that Prestwick’s performance figures have bottomed out.’
