Southampton 30k..no way (7k more than Aberdeen?)
Dublin 15k from a standing start?
Jersey half the Newquay projection?
Like I say these were predictions from last year, with expectations of full and expanded timetables being in operation. Expectation that covid restrictions globally would have finished beginning of 2022 so to allow full timetable to be implemented.
I have ommitted figures from the list the list of new flights that were expected to start this year, that would have pushed passenger figures to over 500k. Depending on covid entry restrictions in other countries being lifted very soon we may see some of these put in the system for this year. But it is expected that everything is pushed back to 2023 start dates now. So 2023 could see a full and expanded timetable and new flights/ routes/ operators in operation that would push passenger figures to over 750k.
