Newcastle Toronto

Graham, don't forget there were five Wednesdays in September this year versus four last year so a 22% jump in passenger numbers this year is actually a slightly worse performance than last year and don't forget these are just passenger numbers - as you know it is all in the yield as to whether a route is really prospering or not. It would be a shame if the Toronto flight disappeared but I'm sure the airport will be working hard to retain service next summer. There's still time to save this route! Let's hope they do it.

Overall Newcastle figures look pretty good for September and Dubai exceptionally good in what are difficult market conditions for all airlines and airports.
