I was confused myself so its fine speedbird, i was like how can it land and then become cancelled.
March PAX numbers tomorrow, hope to see another increase so the rolling figures becomes positve again.

March figures should be interesting. I was also contemplating the thought, maybe someway down the line, could we ever see a 2x daily LPL service on certain days? EZY for example have 7 flights from BFS - LPL on certain days. I think it was yourself Carn who stated RYR were happy with their LPL figures at LDY? So could we ever see it?
March CAA stats are out. Total for LDY was 29515, +5.5%.
Routes:
STN: 9383, +80%, 151/flight.
BHX: 4511, +8%, 133/flight.
LPL: 7767, +5%, 130/flight.
PIK: 6543, +9, 107/flight.
DUB (last deathly gasps): 909, -48%.
FAR: 161.
Still good progress.

Always appreciate your analyse and breakdown CU! And what another fantastic month we've experienced at LDY! STN is doing fantastic with a load factor of 79.8%! The only area of slight concern is PIK but it has seen an increase on last year, and we've still got it now! Good to see BHX going from strength to strength with a 70% load factor (the time is nigh for an increase in rotations!)
I can't WAIT for next months figures... here's too an announcement of 10% increase for the month!
One whole quarter out of recession for the airport... and I can only see it continuing to get better! Everyone at LDY deserves a pat on the back!

Thanks NC.
Yeah, STN and BHX definitely could do with increased frequency.
The stats for April will be very misleading, as the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull led to many cancellations at the airport. We'll have to wait until May to get a better perspective of what's going on.
As for PIK, it must be close to being FR's shortest (and therefore cheapest to operate) sector, so I reckon it'll be safe TFN.

Ah that's right, I couldn't remember whether it was March or April that the eruption occurred, but if it's around 33k - 35k total passengers for next month we'll know things have gone very well. But I will look forward to the month of May figures.
What I will most be interested in seeing is the LF on the STN route. Even if it goes down to 75% that would be a very good omen for further rotations. Oltonpete informed me previously that a BHX based aircraft has three spaces on days we aren't served, but they're not good enough for a new route, but perfect for us... hopefully FR pulls there finger out and gives us at least an extra two flights a week.
SB-ATC asked:
To be honest, ignoring last months LF (which could have been better) I could see this happening at somepoint on with an early and late flight on Fri's & Sun's for those students who want to nip home and see family/friends. Whether it'll happen anytime soon is another question that only MOL can answer. But when it's been suggested on PPRuNe, you can be safe to assume it's been muted at the respective airline!

LDY stats from the CAA
Morning all!
Here are LDY's FR stats for March and for the first quarter of this year. Data sourced from the CAA.
(oops - sorry - missing the first 2 flights to ALC last March)

So LDY is the only NI Airport to see an increase in PAX no's in Jan, Feb and Mar. The other 2 Airports have seen declines each month. Does that mean that LDY's extra PAX are people who used the Belfast Airport's previously but find it handier to fly from LDY now?

Anna_List, great stuff, as always.
The LF for Stansted is impressive for the dreary month of March.
Tigger et al, one would have to imagine that some of those people who used (and yes, liked) FR from BHD are now using them from LDY (as some posters on here from Larne and other places have said). A 9.9% increase in pax, whilst total FR flight have decreased 3.54% surely proves this.

Pardon my ignorance, but I only just realised the the the NOC to EDI BE service operations 3x weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. It seems to be going from strength to strength with an extension to all year round being introduced four months after it was announced in Dec and before the service started.
With Ryanair openly concentrating less on PIK it is missing potential customers to Scotland, and with NI's very strong links with Scotland it makes the viability of an EDI route even stronger. However, the number of potential customers from the eastern central belt of Scotland is more suited to BE than FR so I don't fear a FR move from PIK to EDI.
Here's hoping for a 3x or more weekly service with BE in the near future.

The online departure board says that DUB landed at 1135 today, yet its only 1055? I went on DUB Airport website and their departure board says LDY is supposed to depart at 1100 but departed at 1055. Although their board seems to be wrong too. As EI358 Stuttgart due to depart at 1150 says it departed at 1144? A lot of flights are like this.

And just to confuse the picture, weren't there a few short closures of the airport due to the volcano in May 2010 too?
An interesting one for anna_list to sort out....

It is impossible to use the March, April or May figures to compare this year against last.
March figures will appear lower because of the late Easter in 2011 (so well done to Derry for showing an increase this year in March).
April figures will be massively higher because of the late Easter coupled with the ash cloud last year.
May's won't be reliable either because the airport closures in 2010 extended well into May and also people who couldn't fly outbound as planned in late April didn't return in May as a result of their trips being cancelled before they even left.
So expect big gains across the board for airports and airlines in April and May and a truer picture to emerge from June onwards.
