BOH not as bad as others
reductions in Pax at other UK airports in Jan 08 were much worse than at BOH.
BOH saw a reduction in flights of -3.6% but a reduction in pax of -3.4% so actually a net rise of 0-2% (I know, it's small, but its something!)
Others UK airports did far worse
Coventry -46.3%
Norwich -19.1%
Cardiff -16.1%
Exeter -12%
Newquay -7.9%
Durham Tees Valley -7.8%
Inverness -3.9%
Even Southampton saw a reduction of -3% during Jan 08.
Which leads me to conclude, something happened during Jan 08 in the UK to reduce traffic? But what?
