Close to 10,000 passengers expected to travel through the airport this bank holiday weekend, with 80 flights to 15 different destinations.

You beat me to it, mind you the Duesseldorf flight is starting back up again this weekend!! A total of 20 flights in and out tomorrow.
I'm sure the Knock PR team will be in for a battering about misquoting figures and generating free publicity, which airlines of course never do...
Anyway I'll sit back now and get the popcorn out!

I dont know how many flights go in and out of NOC, but I do know the bank holiday weekend consists of Saturday, Sunday and Monday - with 3 days worth of operations both inbound and outbound flights will that not nearly reach 80 flights?
I like the way you roll

Just came accross anna aero passegner stats and they show a large decline at NOC, Jan +0.7%, Feb -7.4% and Mar -6.1%. Total passenger drop is just short of 5,500.
With the earlier Easter and FR resuming sun routes slightly earlier what has lead to such a decline in March? April likely to see a fall with Easter in March.

In short no, it's highly unlikely that 2012 figures will be matched.
Affected by:
Reduced capacity on Birmingham & Manchester flights,ATR and a dash 8 only replace about half the seats lost from the BMI Boeing 737 so a cut in seats by 50%.
Routes lost Leeds, Paris & Frankfurt
The recession, people simply have lees disposable income and it's hitting people's pockets harder this year.
Will be helped by:
Double daily on Stansted Friday & Sunday flight
Additional Saturday Luton flight for June
Additional Malaga flights which goes twice weekly June, July & August*
I think April stats will be up. Easter Monday was the 1st of April when commuters/holiday makers were going back to the UK and around this time of year weekend flights from the UK are generally busy for religious occasions confirmations/communions.
If Knock could hit 650,000 this year that would be good, obviously a dip but still a respectable number. You normally tell when figures aren't great on Knocks twitter account, there very quick to inform their followers on increase but there hasnt been for 13 yet, January aside.
April's figures will be very interesting.

The posters who didn't like that tw itter message a few weeks back probably won't be too happy about about Michael Murphy's slightly stretched account of IWAK's passenger numbers in their new TV advert either.
