Aberdeen Airport: High five as passenger growth continues
Aberdeen Airport enjoyed a near 5% growth in passenger numbers last month, with both domestic and international traffic posting strong growth.
Latest figures show the number of passengers using Aberdeen Airport increased by 4.8% in November 2011.
Domestic traffic numbers enjoyed the strongest growth, up by 9.1%. International passenger numbers grew by 7.2% and the number of helicopter passengers fell by 13.4%.
Derek Provan, airport MD, said: “It is encouraging to see domestic and international traffic growing at such a strong rate. The launch of new flights to London City and Bristol are a welcome addition to Aberdeen’s domestic route network and will help support business and tourism links between the north-east, London and the south-west of England.”
Good growth on fixed wing; lower heli traffic inevitably with the EC225 restrictions; think cargo also down due to same reason.

An easy to fix to make Aberdeen more appealing.....fixing the roads going into the airport. Total joke. Most major INTERNATIONAL airports are connected by a motorway. Not a single lane country track

Aye good enough for me but should of been built by now. Too many ppl complaining and holding up vital work that needs to be done. Dyce drive needs to be made into a duel carriage way and the airport needs to also accept that ppl are not going to pay just to pick ppl up. Need a dedicated and free pick up place near the terminal.

The real problem isn't so much Dyce Drive (the road by the airport) but the other roads around Aberdeen -especially Anderson Drive and The Parkway - they are just so full most of the day you have to allow an awful lot of time
Once you get to Dyce Drive (even in the rush hour) it's not too bad
Of course you could always use the cycle lane.........

When I worked at ABZ the cycle lane was fantastic on a bike.Cycle track all the way from Newmachar and kept you safe from the wonderful ''Aberdeen Drivers''.
Lived to tell the tale,and laughed at all the fatties sitting fuming in their stationary tin boxes.

Anywhere But ABZ
Provisional Figures on Selected Key Routes:
Heathrow / 56543 / +12.8%
Manchester / 17278 / +24.7%
Gatwick / 15508 / -21.5%
Birmingham / 8085 / +13.6%
London City / 5586 / ---
Luton / 5926 / -42.8%
Bristol / 3664 / +4.9%
Amsterdam / 23684 / +16.2%
Stavanger / 16287 / +6.3%
Paris / 8530 / -6.7%
Frankfurt / 8042 / +34.5%
Copenhagen / 3918 / +2.1
Dublin / 3166 / +18.2%
So pretty incredible growth on LHR, I guess they poached a few BE pax. MAN did very well again.
Can't see BRS sustaining 2 carriers much longer - I guess T3 will abandon it sharpish.
LGW and LTN expected declines but both routes achieving very good loads.
Good to see the negative effects of FR's departure subside and EI post growth.
AMS and SVG posting some very nice figures as well .

bmi Regional
If there is a new sign, it should be accompanied by a snappy new catchphrase, bit like what 'pure dead brilliant' has done for Prestwick! 
'Fit like min' or 'Bon Accord' - or how about the old Turkish football standard for visiting fans:
'Welcome to hell'
bmi Regional. Their plans are starting to appear, with the new services to Germany from Bristol announced today. With 2013 on the horizon, any thoughts on what new services from ABZ bmiR may have in the pipeline, domestically &/or internationally?

Maybe sounding like a stuck record but they haven't improved, the luggage facilities are far from international, they're also surely far from intentional because nobody could intend it to be that rubbish!
