Movement numbers at Bankstown in recent financial years:
99-00: 295,974
00-01: 321,036
01-02: 339,010
02-03: 337,314
03-04: 227,796
04-05: 197,520
A 42% drop over the space of the last three years is pretty dramatic (mind you at over 500 movements a day, not sure if I'd be camping out on the runways!). Of course, these figures might only be a result of training numbers dropping as the industry rebalances around a glut of unemployed pilots?
