Strong Growth MAN/BFS
Interesting reading looking at the figure for Manchester to Belfast (both City and Aldergrove) since Baby came on line.
The CAA figures show that 12,092 passenger flew to Aldergrove in May. If my calculations are correct - Baby I think fly 3 times on weekdays, once on a Saturday and twice on Sundays - then that gives an average of 172 passenger per flight on a 737-300.
One would have assumed that Baby would have hit BA, but the City route had an increase of 12pc to 13,040 over the same period.
It's good to see that competition appears to have proved benificial to all, Incidently the easyJet service from Liverpool was down by 4pc in the same periodwhich is not bad considering the gains at Manchester.

ps - I assume that the figures quoted are on a round trip basis as statistics are only given ex the lower alphabetical airport on any route.
