Biggest growth seen on Las Palmas up 129%, but big gains on Faro, Malta, Alicante, Malaga and Geneva. Dublin did well as did Krakow but Prague seemed to struggle a little with only 2,453 pax. Decline of 3% seen on Tenerife. Huge decline seen on Paphos as Ryanair moved to summer seasonal only.
Such a shame that this positive growth story has now been stopped dead in its tracks by COVID-19 but everyone is in the same boat. Will be interesting to see how much of it comes back after the crisis is over. I believe that leisure travel will come back in a big way but UK domestic may struggle.
why will UK domestic struggle, people and businesses still need to travel nationwide!
