Poor July'12 numbers
Southampton managed around 174,000 pax in Jul'12, but this was down 9% - the biggest fall the airport has seen I believe during the economic downturn.
Barcelona doesn't look as good as it should be considering this is one of the most demanded routes by the local population. Perhaps Vueling is not marketing itself well? Or Ryanair is fighting with its BOH-GRO service? Load factor was around 55%, an improvement on June which was only 38% but not terribly good for a peak month.
