Galway - Leeds
Might be mistaken but is the Galway - Leeds Bradford service by Aer Araan being chopped shortly ?
The Leeds - Galway and Leeds - Cork services started around the same time, and had fairly similar loads. Cork has since gone daily, whereas it seems you cannot book the Galway very far into Jan 2008 ?
Interesting that FR started three times a week service from LBA - SNN in Nov 07 and maybe that is the major factor in Araan not running the Galway.
Any chance of RE flying another LBA - Ireland regional route in it's place ?

It would seem that Flybes' BHD service is suspended from 06/01/08 - 01/04/08 and then operates 3 times weekly for the summer. Initially Flybe intended to axe the route but must have had second thoughts!

From the wires.........
SIPTU members at Galway Airport have voted decisively for industrial action because of the airport mnagement’s decision to impose cuts to workers’s hours rather than work through the normal industrial relations process.
Commenting on the outcome of the vote, SIPTU official Paul Gavan said “Management’s decision to impose these changes has left our members with no option but to vote for strike action.
Our members understand the need to formulate a plan to make savings in the airport's expenditure. However a plan that asks only the workers at the coalface to take pain while leaving the terms and conditions of the airport's very large and extensive management team untouched is not a fair plan. Management's failure to engage meaningfully with our members has lead directly to the decision to vote for strike action.
Galway Airport is in annual receipt of substantial state funding. It relies on taxpayers' money to survive, grow and prosper. Taxpayers money should not be spent in order to protect existing terms of employment for management while savage cuts to airport workers are being imposed.
In the absence of a revised plan from management and constructive talks industrial action will commence in the coming days. We expect such action will have a significant impact on the airport as virtually all of the staff excluding management are members of SIPTU.
We will be informing the airport's only customer -- Aer Arann -- of our decision. Action will commence upon completion of the required notice period of 7 days to management which was issued today. Our members are due to meet this coming Thursday to determine the scope, nature and timing of the industrial action."
Let's hope they can talk it through!

I posted an estimate for all the regional airports on the Ireland West Airport thread link below based on estimates from last figures given by the Minister for Transport. About 161,000 in 2010 GWY, 22,000 SXL.
But I haven't seen any statement of final figures.

Thanks Sawtooth.
One question, when you say you used monthly averages, was that the average of previous year Nov/Dec relative to the rest of the year, or average of Jan-Oct?
Nov/Dec would be pretty low months compared to Jun-Aug and that might distort it.
