November passenger numbers are now posted on the Airport's website:
https://www.newcastleairport.com/abo...er-statistics/
Total Passengers for November is 304,487 compared to 306,293 for November 2018
Year to date Jan - Nov is 4,957,996 compared to last year Jan - November of 5,095,978 showing a drop of -137,982 passengers over this period.
December 2018 passenger total was 290,042, so depending on this year's December numbers, if similar trend continues showing approx. 20,000 fewer passengers per recent months, the year end is likely to be approx, -160,000 down on 2018 total.
- I wonder how did the airport attain nearly 5.7 million in 2007, which was , in the main, before Emirates service commenced in September of that year. I thought the Airport had grown in terms of number of routes and passenger volume. - Anyone got copy of Airport Timetables 2006 - 2008? - Will be interesting to see what routes / frequencies have been lost over the period since. From memory I think regular daily Braathens services to Oslo, Stavanger & Bergen; More frequencies from Thomson & Airtours to Orlando; Caledonian (CKT) to Goa, India (although I believe this was short lived) ... not sure of any other significant routes, other than possibly larger a/c and more frequent Sabena/SN to Brussels.
