 Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 5:32 pm Post subject: BAA December traffic figures |
 |
|
09 January 2007
BAA’s seven UK airports handled a total of 10.9 million passengers in
December, an increase of 1.6% on December 2005. This took the calendar year
total to 147.7 million, an increase of 2.3%.
Each of BAA’s airports was affected by the foggy conditions which persisted
in the south of England for much of the last week before Christmas,
normally a particularly busy period. In total it is estimated that the loss
in traffic handled as a result of the fog amounted to about 175,000
passengers, around 1.7% of the total which would have been carried had it
not been for the cancellations to flights caused by the bad weather.
Of the individual markets, Domestic and short haul European services were
most disrupted by the bad weather. As a result Domestic traffic was down
5.8%, while growth on European scheduled routes was reduced to 3.0%. North
Atlantic traffic grew 1.1%, and other long haul routes recorded a
collective increase of 8.1%.
Among individual airports, as a result of the disruption to its Domestic
traffic, Heathrow traffic was down 2.4%. Gatwick was less affected by the
fog and saw a passenger increase of 8.8%, taking its annual figure past 34
million for the first time. Stansted was up 3.9%, whilst Southampton saw
growth of 2.2%.
Cut backs in London services also hit all three Scottish airports. As a
result, each experienced a drop in recent growth trends. Glasgow saw growth
of 2.3%, whilst Edinburgh and Aberdeen grew 0.3%, and 9.5% respectively.
As a result of the bad weather, the total number of air transport movements
at BAA airports was down 1.2%. Cargo tonnage was down 15.3%.

Excellent performances all round given the fog cancellations.

At least the London cutbacks did not have a negative effect on December
traffic at BAA's Scottish Airports - although had it happened in say,
February - there might have been a different story.
0.3% rather disappointing for Edinburgh though - especially given the
extra services and given that the Christmas holidays are normally
renowned to have a bigger increase in numbers travelling.
Also - I'm sure I've read elsewhere online about zero growth being
recorded at Glasgow - or am I imagining things? Looks like the same
thing has happened at Edinburgh given BAA's latest montly figures. |

Why has cargo dropped so much from GLA this year? Even with EK adding
the 77W.

But highlighting the desirability of BAA pursuing more international flights
at the expense of domestics, I would say, Jim.

Aye, but most of the Christmas flying at EDI (and probably GLA too) will be
domestic, so inevitable really that the weather had an impact. It's not
exactly a typical month so I'm not inclined to read too much into the
figures. Summer 07 looks to be an altogether better prospect.

Like I say, hardly a typical month at either airport, but things are looking
up for later in the year.

Is Prestwick maybe showing a corresponding up on its freight figures? Any
new operators there recently? |

Freighter/Bellyhold Cargo at GLA EDI and PIK -
Year 2000 -
EDI - 19,700 tonnes
GLA - 10,200 tonnes
PIK - 46,400 tonnes.
But this stat caught my eye - This is for freight trucked to the airport
then trucked to an onward 'hub' airport, LHR etc -
Year 2000 -
EDI - 4,500 tonnes
GLA - 92,000 tonnes, yes 92,000 tonnes.
PIK - No stats
Year 2030 projection -
EDI - 14,300 tonnes
GLA - 293,200 tonnes, yes *293,200* tonnes.
PIK - No projection |
