No the reduction in flights wasn't widely reported by SNN.
They did say 2013 would be a difficult year, its mentioned briefly in this article.

or 6k extra passengers I wouldn't be partying.
I wouldn't be partying either. Its a very small growth in passenger numbers. The growth should have been greater when you see the new routes that were added and the increased capacity that was added during Summer 2013. FR also increased SNN-AGP from 2-3 weekly for June/July and they increased SNN-PMI from 2-3 weekly from May - Oct last year.
I said the SNN management did extremely well in there first year because of the amount of new routes and increased capacity they secured for this year.
I also didn't agree with the fact the Santa flights had been counted in the passenger numbers for 2013. But I'm happy to be proved wrong when the Dec 2013 stats come out.
Also wondering could there have been a reduction in flights from Omni Air and all of that? (I dont no much about these flights at SNN) I didn't see that much of them myself during the Summer of last year. The CSO seems to count pax from those flights.
