Ya all the new routes are very welcome, but
N by NW has a very valid point that we shouldn't be expecting a bumper year for passenger figures because there are also some very significant reductions.
When we will compare 2010 to 2009 it's currently looking like:- bmibaby: a lot less passengers
- Jet2: less passengers
- Ryanair: slightly less passengers
- Air Southwest: same I suppose (unsure)
- Aer Arann (incl EI Regional): same number of passengers
- Aer Lingus (excl EI Regional): more passengers (SXF replaced by MAN + BHX)
- Wizzair: more passengers
