Caa stats for September out today and LDY down again, just over 350,000 pax for last 12 month period (rolling). Could be down to 340,000 for the year. With reduction to services to FAO and ALC and BHX outlook not great for 2015?.
Page 36 of the "Master Plan" suggested a low estimate for 2015 would be 480,000 passengers with the plan being 510,000 and high estimate of 550,000.
Not going to plan?
The report also moans about the terminal struggling to cope with 3 fully loaded 737s in the space of an hour, but today shows only 2 flights for the whole day.
£50m and £10m "invested" in the airport since 2008??
Some interesting quotes from the report
In October 2010, DCC entered into a 10 year contract with Parsons Brinckerhoff, a Balfour Beatty Company, through a Managed Services Agreement to operate the Airport
The Airport supports approximately 380 full time equivalent jobs in the local economy and contributes approximately £14 million of GVA to the Northern Ireland economy and £7 million to the local economy per annum. By 2022 it is estimated that the Airport will support 800 jobs in the local economy and add £35 million GVA to the Northern Ireland economy
How many jobs does the airport currently support?
