` Historical Passenger Figures DTVA - Passenger numbers from Jan 05 to Dec 08. (figs in red are projected estimates)
Some general observations
1) Figs are for total number of pax transiting through the terminal each month. 2) Several thousand MoD charter pax will also be included across some 2007, and all the 2008, figs. If these were omitted, the actual number of ‘normal’ business and holiday pax for these years are actually worse than those published. 3) The figs for the remainder of 2008 are guesstimates, based on previous years trends, so the full year total looks like falling somewhere between 650k to 675k at best. If correct, we can say goodbye to any terminal expansion plans in the near future. The existing building can certainly cope with the 30% less passengers than there were 3 years ago. 4) The main holiday period from May 08 to Aug 08 is flat, showing no growth at all compared to the same period in previous years, only averaging around 72k per month. 5) What should be the busiest month, Aug 08, is down 36,000 pax (33%) compared to Aug 06, and nearly 23,000 down (23%) on Aug 07. 6) The effects of the BMIbaby withdrawal from Nov 06 on is seen in the corresponding reduction in pax numbers before GSM gradually got their act together in April/ May 07.
compiled by Dave Brown 2008 FIGURES AUGUST PASSENGER FIGURES
Total pax for August: 73999 (-24.2% on the same period last year) ABZ 2487 -10% (2766) Very, very worrying
indeed, but whereas the above total figure is compared to the previous year,
we're up compared to the previous month (below). JULY PAX FIGURES
