To meet the new requirements the thread has been renamed.......
Anyway, on with the news, July pax numbers have been officially released.
DTV managed 97847 in July 2005, up from 86831 in July 2004, a percentage rise of 13% (lucky for some
). This puts us above Isle Of Man (71413), Exeter (92401) and Bournemouth (90662), those being the closest behind us
. Our next target is the 171956 set by London City! Might take a while to reach that
bmi's LHR route was up 9%, Eastern's Aberdeen was up 19% (mainly due to the introduction of J41's twice a day) with the only other domestic routes both being way up! Newquay 100% (due to no service last July) and Jersey +32%
The internationals also did well....
Alicante was down (mixed in with charter)
Amsterdam -6%
Cork +100% (new service)
Dublin -4%
Malaga was down (mixed in with charter)
Nice -100% (no service this summer
)
Palma was down (mixed in with charter)
Paris CDG +100% (new service)
Rome Ciampino +100% (8527 pax, avg 137 per flight, 72.5% load factor)
Newcastle's Milan Bergamo (FR) isn't shown for some reason
Shame to see that Baby's Spanish routes were down, but I believe this is due to a reduction in frequency........come on Baby, do it properly or don't do it at all!
