Here are the UK figures for April.
Most sizeable changes the Luton flight is up on last year.
While the Gatwick flight is down but a lot of that was due to disruption with Aer Lingus flights in April. Aer Lingus cancels Knock-Gatwick flight today I know that link states just one day but more days were effected by these cancellations.
Not too sure on the other routes Spain/Milan but the arrivals/departures board looked extremely busy at the weekend alright. That said the airport realise that this year was going to be their toughest in quite a while so any figure over 650,000 in total would be positive.

A US service, with the small limited number of US carriers and fewer with the capability of transatlantic flying, hard to see who it could be. This would feel more like territory of a start up or niche carrier.
But most likely but still unlikely is air contractors in the guise of EI b757, otherwise I wouldn't expect any developments in this area.
Failing that jet2 enroute LBA us

From what I heard the whisper is regarding possible flights from the US around the G8 summit only, scheduled or chartered is still a long way off unfortunately at this stage. Although a charter schedule remains an option

Nice pic today, lots headign off on holliers from sunny Mayo.
Chairman moving on, he oversaw 10 years of growth.
Knock chairman Scollan resigns - Independent.ie
Do I see a works compound to the left or is that used by handling?
Any update on what the recent capital increase is to be used for?

I was going to post that link too. What is people’s opinion on Liam's term at Knock?
I suppose no one can argue with how under his leadership it’s grown in size, trebled in pax since he started in 2002. Will be difficult for the new man coming in to better that!
Seemed like a decent skin too although I did know him personally.

Economic conditions as excuse for falling numbers
I think many airports' are getting away lightly in using "Economic conditions" as an excuse for falling numbers. A few posts back Liam Scollan was being credited for overseeing Knock's passenger growth since 2002 even though half of his tenure included the drastic economic downturn since 2007/8.
Given the carry-on by, for example, Ryanair in their unsustainable "deals" with airports I think it's safe to say that overall economic conditions play a subordinate role in airport passenger growth compared to the abuse by airlines of their dominant market position.
