March traffic up 13.28%
Assuming this figure is correct, March 2011 was 1.203 million in round terms, so March 2012 would be around 1.368 million

April 11 was 1.426 million and April 12 was 1.472 million

So March + April 2011 = 2.629 million
March + April 2012 = 2.840 million or an 8% increase - not bad going in my book

Next year Easter is in March, so holidays may be reduced as it may be too cold.
Easter Day is only just in March in 2013 (31st), so the outbound and inbound peaks will be split between March and April again next year.

Most people who wish to will have to go away at Easter due to school holidays, will have booked ahead and will go irrespective of the weather in UK. In addition "too cold" may mean more people looking for some sunshine at short notice if there is any spare capacity ...And wasn't it rather warm in UK in late March this year?
