What about the impact of Easter?
In 2011 it was very late -24th April
In 2012 it was 8th April
The pre-Easter peak may well have been partially in March this year, whereas in 2011 it wasn't. Always best to look at March and April together in these circumstances.
But March 2012 isn't on the website for some reason so I can't do the sums

Posted earlier in this thread.
Assuming this figure is correct, March 2011 was 1.203 million in round terms, so March 2012 would be around 1.368 million
April 11 was 1.426 million and April 12 was 1.472 million
So March + April 2011 = 2.629 million
March + April 2012 = 2.840 million or an 8% increase - not bad going in my book
Easter Day is only just in March in 2013 (31st), so the outbound and inbound peaks will be split between March and April again next year.
Most people who wish to will have to go away at Easter due to school holidays, will have booked ahead and will go irrespective of the weather in UK. In addition "too cold" may mean more people looking for some sunshine at short notice if there is any spare capacity ...And wasn't it rather warm in UK in late March this year?

March traffic up 13.28%
April 11 was 1.426 million and April 12 was 1.472 million
So March + April 2011 = 2.629 million
March + April 2012 = 2.840 million or an 8% increase - not bad going in my book
Next year Easter is in March, so holidays may be reduced as it may be too cold.

Anyone know if there's any truth in these?! I've not seen this announced anywhere else... wishful thinking maybe?

In fact, the Singapore one has to be a lie because their A345's are apparently all business class?
And isn't this the same website that said flyBE were starting at LHR?
Edit: just scrolled down that page and read: "Aero Lloyd DC-10 arrives for attention with air livery". Think someone's been trolling the page

Traffic
Traffic really seems to have increased dramatically since this time last year. The queues at ZB check in are getting mighty long now and even stretch past the VS desks at time. Already had one instance where the queue in the morning for ZB went all the way down onto the Skylink

Yep, still in the booking system but not tried to book recently to see if it's actually on sale. I thinki mentioned this earlier but basically ZRH was dropped because the 7th a/c earmarked for MAN went to NCE instead.

They certainly will not be flying back home to Manchester.They will not be catching a bus either.You sometimes wonder what goes through their minds even with limited intelligence. They must have seen the news or read the papers about what happens to idiots like them who have done a similar thing.You just do not mention bombs whilst on board an aircraft.Deserve what ever sentence is handed down to them.

CAA Confirm rise of 3.2% in April.
But look at Liverpool losing a whopping 20% of their passengers in the month. Wow.
