- BFS handled 12,308 tonnes of cargo (+62%)
Passenger numbers have increased by 32.7% since 2015, which is a remarkable achievement.
2017 was a record breaker for both annual passenger numbers and annual aircraft movements.
My provisional 2017 route analysis figures from February has been confirmed as correct, so I'll repost it here with the rest of the statistics.
