The true figure is actually 18,127,372 and not the nonsense that is given to the council in a conspiracy of deception and even that figure does not include bizjets passengers. The cap imposed by the airport operator is actually to the number of movements and not the number of passengers although by restricting moments this would restrict passengers. The figures could just mean the passenger growth bubble has burst like it has at Stansted and has nothing to do with any cap imposed by the operator seeing ATM’s have dropped but that drop could include biz jet movements.
Neither the airport or the airlines would control how many empty seats are left on each aircraft and these figures reflects empty seats particularly in November as aircraft rarely arrive and depart full.
