What Skyman said....

If those figures were extrapolated asa flat line across 12 months (which isn't truly accurate but hey ho) that's the worst YoY since 1971. The fact that the prior 7 years figues to 1964 are from start up should be the ultimate doom laden warning.

You have to fancy that the tax and APD and improved facilities at LBA and NCL mean that unless something dramatic occurs the airport seems to have the death gurgle sadly. I just can't see airlines coming on spec, owners investing in light of those figures or PAX beating a path to the airport door. Needs a Euromillions rollover and some divine intervention?
