New master plan out. 40 mppa by 2020 ,up to 45 mppa by 2030
That means an annual growth rate of 1.7 % between now and 2021/22. The masterplan numbers indicate that average number of passengers per aircraft movement will go from 136 to 144.
While the use of A380s and B787s and the migration of charter carriers to B767 will play a part, presumably this is achieved most easily by significantly raising the charges for airlines with smaller aircraft like Aurigny and flybe, while wide body operators have only a small increase in charges. The commitment in the masterplan to being affordable to all carriers is vague and woolly.
