CAA Stats
The provisional stats for March for Cork-UK routes are out. They show another good month for Cork. Some highlights include:
-While Gatwick and Stansted are fairly stagnant, Heathrow is up 6,160 to 42,655 passengers, a 13% increase on last year. This increase means we have had double digit growth on the route every month so far this year.
-Manchester is up a massive 92% to 12,838.
-Birmingham is up 28% to 13,056.
-Prestwick is doing very well at 7,237, almost passing out Cork-Liverpool.
-Edinburgh is the only route to post a substantial decrease, down 38%. This is probably due to the cut in frequency (from 10 to 7 weekly) due to one of the Cork based aircraft going on charter to Finland, as well as the increased competition from Ryanair on Prestwick.
