I believe the "numbers" are
Outbound passengers (this month this year)
Outbound passengers (this month last year)
Average number of passengers pre flight (this month this year)
Average Load Factor = number os passengers / number of seats available (this month this year)

Monarch Hangar. Kilo/Lima Taxiways..........
Will the hangar be facing the Kilo taxiway? If it is will this be closed when the new hangar opens?
I see they are rebuilding a new compass bay nearly finished near L1.
As the old < NEW > compass bay would have been smack bang in the middle of the new hangar.
It will be interesting if they resurface Lima or as the locals know the cross wind runway.
Will be interesting what they do with parking Stands 505 + 506. Think Eurojet are going to have to have some more concrete/apron put down in front of there Hangar. Think the road in front of there hangar will have to be re routed at some point.
At times earlier on this year with all the AN-12 movements the Elmdon apron was crying out for more apron parking. My thought is if the Kilo taxiway goes they might as well close Hotel. Take a line straight down Foxtrot. And where the Helicopter aiming point used to be build a new taxiway towards L1. And tarmac the whole area west of a new Foxtrot taxiway for parking

Hanger
From looking at the artist impression it does not really make any difference to the existing parking and taxiway arrangements apart from moving the compass area.

Monarch Hangar / Parking.
Thanks Jimmysam for the picture.
That will have a definite affect on parking for stands 505 + 506.
Glad to see Kilo Taxiway is staying open. A lot of aircraft that land on 33 exit at Kilo. If that was to close would mean exiting at Bravo and then crossing the runway at Limo. Which at Busy times is not always that easy.

NJCTF- couldn't agree with you more about parking at Elmdon and your suggestion to take foxtrot straight out at the old heli landing point, something I have always said would allow increased parking capacity over at Elmdon which as you rightly say can get extremely chockablock with a few larger aircraft nightstopping in such a restricted area made even more restricted by the new roadways, an accident waiting to happen.
I could never understand why they didn't the Eurojet apron as an opportunity to lay more concrete. The biggest mistake BHX made was to build the Menzies cargo shed in that position, taking up valuable parking space from the old apron.
Great news for BHX however, we have been crying out for decent hangarage and maintainence facilities for years, now we have Flybe, Eurojet and Monarch.
I still can't find any planning application, also wonder how this development fits in to the published masterplan?

ATNOTTS, Re Monarch hangar,
This is great news and with the first Boeing backed 787 facility in the UK seems likely as 40% of MON work will be third party.. we will get some interesting movement.
Just one small negative..looking at the drawing they seem to be adding a noise bund or high green fence around the perimeter adjacent to the golf course and round facing onto the A45..if so you will get no view..

Positioning flights won't need the extra runway length. I remember the Japanese 744's going direct to NRT after the G8 using 15 so anything coming in for a hangar visit will be able to fly back pretty much anywhere in the world (subject to endurance of course).
It's a crying shame that in the UK airport operators can't do imaginative things like putting lens-size holes into these fences so decent people can pursue their hobby.
OK, so I suppose that a terrorist could shove their Kalazhnykov (abysmal spelling!!) through said hole - and the UK mantra is security is paramount - but other jurisdictions can manage it!
Anyway - I said there would be a negative sooner or later - surprised it took so long really!!

A viewing terrace on top of the terminal at BHX would have been great but far too down the line now for that to be added - and I guess a perfect place to aim your Kalazynkov.....but most major European airports have viewing terraces (ZRH and VIE are both excellent with no pesky fences in the way either) so why not UK???? We will just have to make do with Sheldon Country Park, which isn't so bad for photography......

Winter 2013/4 long-haul released and it is showing an increase.
Montego Bay returns for the whole winter - flying day Wednesday
Cancun - Thursday
Sunday - Sanford extends to 24/11 and switches to Bridgetown from 15/12
Montego Bay in April 2014 is twice weekly!!
Can anyone confirm if the flights will be on the 787.
Also could there be more to come with a new flight? I suspect a cruise flight will operate on the Friday or Saturday.

Re the new maintenance hangars....These are to be positioned as proposed in the 2007 'Master Plan - Towards 2030'. Hopefully the next project to be announced will be a new enclosed ground running facility, as proposed in the same plan....

I count six destinations in this release. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they were looking to release 20 new routes in the coming year (? I could be wrong!), so you never know......admittedly May (Salalah, which by the way is an amazingly lovely destination for a beach/mountain holiday) is a long way off but that doesn't mean they won't make other route announcements to start in the meantime, including BHX. They did after all say they were looking to start from 3 UK airports? How about that for positivity

Pete:
I would suggest this is a very early benefit of the extended runway, and that very possibly capacity is being transferred from EMA and /or MAN.
Am I correct? If so good news indeed.

Ryanair ends BUD flights
Seems like the usual throwing their toys out of the pram because they're being asked to pay the same rates all their competitors pay.
