June passenger figure - a stunner

Virtually everybody connected or interested in BHX knew that this was going to be a bad month even before the TNT incident but :-

"Birmingham International Airport handled 891,087 passengers during June, a big fall of 7.2 per cent on the same period last year".

For the second month running it has not been posted on the bhx
website first (too embarrassed?)

I am not sure of the TNT loss but certainly no more than 30k, which
still means over 30k lost.

The article blames the TNT and World Cup, which is a total insult. Yes true in part but not the whole story.

Loads have allegedly improved but it is July and to be expected.

Probably one of the most disappointing monthly results for pax for
years.
