Any body who says that this is an "IT fault / problem / cock up failure etc" does not understand IT!
We are not talking complicated algorithms - these figures are the most basic, straight forward passenger amounts and are exactly known as the last second of each calendar month ticks past and this is why they have been done accurately and promptly for 100s of consecutive months.
So no - this is most definitely not an IT cock up.
Yes the vast majority of the travelling public do not check these figures but if the media note that a particular route is flying with aircraft just a quarter full month after month then questions begin to be asked. Of course, if these basic statistics are not available - no questions get asked.
A slow and deliberate removal of openness and accountability.
