Not quite: July 2007 Total Passengers was 633,253
and August 2007 was higher at

2007 was the busiest year at the airport in terms of total passengers with
5,650,716 for the whole year (

Quite interesting to see the breakdown comparisons of Scheduled, Inclusive Tours, Domestic, International, Freight,Mail etc... - Huge changes in behaviors.

This year to date shows a 12% increase in passenger numbers, therefore if maintained to end of year would estimate an Annual total of 5.44m compared to last year's total of 4.86m. (If from now until year end we matched 2016 month totals - the total for this year would be 5.18m -
although not likely)
