Quoting factsonly (Thread starter): - Febr 2016 = 5.179.374 vs 4.954.259 pax +4.5% |
Quoting factsonly (Thread starter): Is this a sign of lower economic activity in the UK and lower air travel? |
Quoting TC957 (Reply 6): That would be a contributing factor for sure, but I wonder if VS operating smaller aircraft is also a factor ? ( 789's instead of 744's ) |
Quoting Bongodog1964 (Reply 12): BA are reporting RPK, whereas LHR are reporting total passenger numbers, but I'm not aware of BA making a huge change to their flight mix. RPK figures will always look better if short haul flights are replaced by long haul ones. |
Quoting factsonly (Reply 11): The May 2016 traffic data for FRA are just in and these show an even more dramatic results: Frankfurt Airport - May 2016: - Passengers 5.303.480 (-5.5%) |
Quoting ahmetdouas (Reply 15): Agree fully, it should be whole cities that are counted. |
Quoting B742 (Reply 22): Slightly off topic - but how does this compare to VGO and LCG? |
Quoting SCQ83 (Reply 21): AENA has released numbers for May. Not sure if it is a record May (I think so). Of the 16 airports with +200k monthly PAX, all of them are growing, and 13 with double-digit growth. |
Quoting Summa767 (Reply 24): I am sure that overall it is a record May. Not so for certain airports though: MAD and MJV had better record numbers before the financial crisis. But overall fantastic numbers. But Spain is clearly undergoing a tourism boom -and that is clearly reflected in falling unemployment too. With its fantastic infrastructure (High speed trains everywhere for one), great prospects ahead -I can see it a very attractive option for companies looking to set up shop in Europe -and more so after Brexit without the significant competition that the UK would have provided. |
Quoting factsonly (Reply 26): So far LHR (-0.8%), FRA (-5.5%), IST (-5.2%) and CDG (-1.1%) all report traffic down in May 2016. |
Quoting B747forever (Reply 27): It is really interesting to see how traffic increases at Scandinavian airports and AMS while all those major hubs are decreasing. I am sure some of it is due to DYs massive long haul growth at ARN/OSL/CPH. Instead of flying over all those hubs, now more than ever before Scandinavian pax can reach a lot of long haul destinations nonstop. |
Quote: 126 weekly flights The airline has also launched its summer 2016 schedule, which includes 15 routes, including a new route to Oporto in Portugal, catering to some 2.5 million passengers.

LHR 6.3 million (-0,8%)
IST 5.2 million (-5,2%)
FRA 5.3 million (-5,5%)
CDG 5.7 million (-1,1%)
AMS 5.7 million (+6.7%)
Nice fact: The difference between AMS and CDG in the number of processed passengers is only 1422 pax; which is equivalent to less than three flights with an Airbus A380.
