I see reported in the local newspaper The Evenig Herald dated 22nd December 2005 PAX numbers for PLY have increased by 68% in the last twelve months.
Part of the report reads:-
The report reveals that 132,000 passengers used the airport in 2004-05, compared with 79,000 in 2003-04. In 2002-03, the number of passengers taking flights to and from the city was even lower - 76,000.
So obviously Air Southwest are doing something right for Plymouth.
Obviously with councils down this part of the world being slower than Wurzel Gummidge and having the foresight of a gnat does anybody think that plans are in line for an expansion to the runway at Plymouth as they have ring fenced certain areas around the airport from future outside expansion. I personally would like to see this happen.
Also in its yearly report Sutton Harbour Holdings plc. who own Air Southwest and Plymouth City Airport announced they were in talks to buy another airport anybody any ideas on which one.
