Blood, sweat and less tears than expected

Howay then I'll try again... Stats should now read as follows

Destination - 2014 pax (2013 pax) percentage increase (notes)

Domestic Increases:
Gatwick - 8436 (6982) +21%
Luton - 77 (0) N/A
Aberdeen - 2333 (2136) +9 (2014 - 39 charter)
Birmingham - 460 (336) +37% (2014 - 69 charter)
Bristol - 14963 (13603) +10%
Manchester - 74 (72) +3%
Belfast International - 16193 (15929) +2%
Newquay - 759 (753) +1%
Southampton - 8490 (7901) +7%

Domestic Decreases:
Heathrow - 40617 (42698) -5%
Stansted - 0 (67) -100%
Belfast City - 3076 (4446) -31%
Durham Tees Valley - 0 (48) -100%
Exeter - 0 (3016) -100%
Farnborough - 0 (85) -100%
Isle of Man - 480 (496) -3%
Jersey - 2526 (2908) -13%
Manston - 0 (3) -100% (2013 - 3)
Cardiff - 734 (872) -16%

Not looking too bad on the domestic side of things, Heathrow always seems to decrease more than in increases but still very healthy numbers. Birmingham boosted by charters but still a shadow of it's former self unfortunately, same applies for Isle of man and I think probably a few others. BHD must be in trouble and unfortunately I can't see it lasting if it keeps the consistent double digit drops. Pleased to see Bristol doing well (for now, until the stupid winter schedule) and Southampton looking healthy. I would be pleased with Gatwick but... It's somewhat irrelevant.

A few comments on international, good to see all the Euro hubs doing well and the EK numbers are looking impressive. It's a shame to see quite a lot of drops in charter in some areas, but then again they have some pretty impressive increases in other areas. IMO the ones I'm most pleased about and think are the most exceptional are Kefalonia, Kos, Zante, Rhodes, Reus, Dubrovnik, Sanford and Cancun. Very pleased to see Jet2 and Thomson cohabiting very nicely on the Funcal route, although I am extremely disappointed about Jet2's move to Monday mornings for next year. That will definitely cause problems I think. They are much better off on Fridays... More friendly competition. I think the 1-2% drops are probable just anomalies, i.e the way dates fell meaning there are 1/2 less flights in that month, some like Air Malta are stable, 11 pax isn't much to cry over I don't think. Some of the really disappointing ones are Alicante, Antalya, Gerona, Haraklion, Krakow, Murcia and Paphos. Spain seems to have had quite a lot of overall drops this year, people changing to long haul or places like Greece which have seen stunning rises? But one notable mention is Cork... Why can't it seem to sustain last year's Jet2 pax numbers? I would have thought that the 2 extra frequencies would have improved things. The same amount of seats are still on sale for the route. Overall though, things look good and I hope some of 2015's new routes make an improvement again.

Finally here are the Airport's stats:

4347 flight movements this month, -0.2%
42909 flight movements rolling year, -0.6%
534026 passengers this month +1.2%
4480171 passengers rolling year +2%

Looking good. 4.5 million this year? I've probably jinxed it now though, we'll get 4.495 or something.
