Slightly lower LF as some flights ran on the MAX which isn't capped.
I'm surprised at those figures, I was under the impression from what I heard the numbers were higher.

Yes I think it is...with regards to Load Factor, 189 seats each way accounts for a figure of 79%, and 160 seats each way accounts for a figure of 93%.

Great news for the airport, not so for the travelling public. A 250% increase on 135% more transactions suggests a heavy price hike. My car parking fees are £20 more expensive this weekend than they were in March, April and May.

A 135% increase in passengers from ROI have lead to a 250% increase in revenue 🤔

Shouldn't really be a surprise in August should it?
Supply and Demand is surely a fundamental economic principle?

I remember maybe 20 years ago we paid £300 plus for a return ticket to London, unless you were staying a Saturday night. Even then it wasn't that cheap. Now I can get a return flight for £30-40. One way that came about was the airlines have greatly reduced what they pay the airport. In the meantime, airport costs have hardly reduced,have they!? So how do airports square the circle other than through drop off charges, car parking etc? Really amuses me all those meeters and greeters who sit along the side of the road to avoid paying a £1 and completely forget that a few years ago many of the journeys they are making would not have been affordable. Those who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

Sorry but I don't agree, just because we once had to pay extortion to fly to not so far destinations does not mean we should just accept whatever charges are thrown at us now.
If airports can't sustain themselves, airport fees will rise across the board and there's nothing LCC's can do about it.

If airport fees rise then LCC will either cut back or move operations to another airport if one close by
BFS will have to keep the like of FR and EZY sweet
DUB and a few other airports have the luxury of little or no competition

It looks like BFS management's 'Vote to Leave' advertising campaign in the Republic has paid off. 600,000 Irish passengers is a pretty impressive figure given that DUB is more convenient than BFS for most people in the border counties.
On a more general note; given that the July rolling 12 month figure is 5.73 million passengers, it seems a real possibility that next year BFS will handle 6 million passengers for the first time. Passenger figures for this year have already surpassed two targets (5.4 million and 5.6 million), and will almost certainly surpass the current target of 5.8 million passengers. That's a pretty amazing achievement given that just 3 years ago passenger numbers were stagnated at just 4 million.

Could be nothing but the airport as started following Copenhagen Airport on twitter today...
Maybe a new route for Norwegian between the arrival and departure of the USA flights?
