Interesting comparing KIA to Lands End. Not really a valid comparison but since you raised it.
In the period you mention, statistics in the 12 months to Aug 2007, I observe that KIA managed 13,000 pax. That is an increase of 62% over the previous period. Lands End managed 28,000 pax, an increase of 27%.
As regards freight, for the twelve months 2006, KIA managed 20,841 tonnes and Lands End 85 tonnes.
I think a more interesting comparison would be KIA with Prestwick, especially since they have the same owner. Granted that KIA have a hill to climb in regard to pax, but they are consistently beating Prestwick on freight volumes.
