Any body who says that this is an "IT fault / problem / cock up failure etc" does not understand IT!
We are not talking complicated algorithms - these figures are the most basic, straight forward passenger amounts and are exactly known as the last second of each calendar month ticks past and this is why they have been done accurately and promptly for 100s of consecutive months.
So no - this is most definitely not an IT cock up.
Yes the vast majority of the travelling public do not check these figures but if the media note that a particular route is flying with aircraft just a quarter full month after month then questions begin to be asked. Of course, if these basic statistics are not available - no questions get asked.
A slow and deliberate removal of openness and accountability.

I really don't feel like I can trust any of the stats, loads of them are still incomplete
Is there any plan as to when or if this will ever get sorted out?

"THIS DATA IS NOW COMPLETE"
If they say so. Where is half the Aberdeen stats then? And I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg
Can't get some basic stats right but happy to give it their best shot trying to run an airline into the ground.

So here we are in April and still no February data. It always used to be the 15th or 16th of the month following. What chance of a return to this standard? Come on CAA, this shambolic state of affairs has been goon on for more than a year.
The way it was explained to me was:
1. Airports provide figures to a third party
2. Third part collates figures
3. CAA publish figures on their website
However, the way in which figures are reported has changed due to some new EU regulation. Airports will be fined if they don't produce the figures in a certain way. Almost all airports have made the change, the third party has adapted, but the CAA system (or website?) cannot yet accept figures in the revised format.
