Busiest ever October at the airport with a 10% pax increase on last year. Even steady figures for the last two months would bring the annual total to over 670k - comfortably the second busiest ever year at the airport.
A similar increase for the last two months (admittedly this is unlikely) would bring the total up to around 680k, only 5,000 below last year - which would be pretty exceptional given the loss of the Beauvais and Hahn routes.
It makes you wonder what might be achievable in 2014 with the new routes and increased London schedule.
