Gatwick Traffic Statistics September 2011

Does anyone know if the Gatwick traffic stats for September 2011 have been released yet? Just checked their website and found nothing at all. Are they publishing the results somewhere else or are they just late this month?

Airlift - not in the same format, but have you had a look at:

Depending on what you want, you might be able to find the information you seek

Good enough for me, thanks dj6.

Air Asia X

First flight into Lgw by Air Asia this afternoon. I remember reading in the Sunday Times months ago what they said then that D7 was moving to Lgw, that the airline had big plans for Lgw. Also, on the Inside Gatwick programme last week, which had a bit about D7 moving, they said that Lgw was asking D7 to consider a New York route. My question, will we see expansion of Air Asia at Lgw?

EI increases DUB to 6 daily during the week from 30th October.

BA will resume NCE (3 daily) and open ALG (daily flights transfered from LHR) from 25th March. MAN and FAO will lose one daily flight. FCO, BOD, Tirana and Pristina see also reductions, CAG cancelled.

turkish airlines will launch daily flights from istanbul ataturk starting dec 20th.

Great News! I believe Easy are dropping their flights to SAW early next year so it is good to see a replacement carrier so soon and with the added benefits or TK's growing network from Ataturk for connecting traffic.

Any indications to what a/c they will use? I'm guessing it will be an A320/A321/738 although I may be wrong!

I also think a daily AYT flight would compliment this well and also be the return of a full service carrier on a loco/charter dominated route as I believe BA dropped the route a.couple of years ago.

I believe Easy are dropping their flights to SAW early next year

adfly - I thought Easyjet dropped their LGW - SAW routes yesterday, with the end of the summer 2011 season ?

[adfly]

They probably did, I must have read something unreliable then!

EI increases DUB to 6 daily during the week from 30th October.

It increases to 7 daily on Fridays only from 6 Jan next year.

[jijpc]

Passed through LGW this afternoon and there was certainly a check in queue for an Air Zimbabwe flight to Harare

Air China intends to launch flights to PEK next year.

Seems like LGW is becoming the outlet for providing more capacity to the Far East, where it can't be squeezed in at LHR, so now we have:

Air AsiaX - moved from STN
Vietnam Airlines - starting soon
Hong Kong Airlines - starting S12
Air China - starting S12

What next, the return to LGW of Phillipine A/L and Garuda (the latter are getting 773's soon I think)?
