Will be interesting to see how the stats work out in 2024 given the new EZY base at BHX + expansion by LS and FR amongst others
If you look at the slot report that matt posted upthread you can see that FlyBe constituted nearly .5m pax, so its hardly surprising return to pre-pandemic figures has yet to be reached. Also to be taken into account is the decline in business traffic since covid that has hit the full service airlines. Just look at LCY figures.
BRS is leisure heavy and their catchment is rather more affluent than the West Midlands.
