Below I've calculated the total passenger numbers based on CAA Jan-Dec stats.

Domestic Routes;

Modest growth on most routes, decrease for both BHX and GLA.

1. Gatwick - 982,790 (+14.4%)
2. Liverpool - 490,613 (+5.4%)
3. Stansted - 376,429 (+3.4%)
4. Luton - 340,034 (+9.5%)

International Routes;

First time in 10 years that an international route has exceeded 200,000 pax, and the first time ever that two routes have exceeded 200,000.

Sun routes, in particular Iberian routes, performed exceptionally well. Ski routes on the other hand performed very poorly.

The Glasgow route must fluctuate greatly depending on Rangers & Celtic games as the number of fans travelling from Ulster to Ibrox or Celtic Park at the weekend is huge.

Think more people might take the boat. There's no point in taking a flight for 80 miles, really.

Massive time advantage flying BFS-GLA/EDI over taking the ferry and driving/public transport, unless your destination is Dumfries and Galloway!

It's a 4 hour drive to Glasgow door to door, i'm not convinced the plane would be faster. Boats wouldn't run if there was no demand anyway.

Ferry is a minimum of 2 hours. Factor in checkin-in a minimum of 30 mins before departure. 90 mins drive Cairnryan to Glasgow centre is ambitious, doable provided you are first off the ferry and don't get stuck behind anyone on the A77. Also taking your own car massively ramps up the price and the minimum return price for that is £148 usually, unless you purchase it in the sale.

BFS-GLA - arrive at STD-40. 45 min block time. Bus to Glasgow City centre - 30 mins. And unless you're booking last minute, still cheaper than £150.

As for demand... I assume you've seen the amount of freight that uses the ferries? Plenty of times I've used P&O and Stena Line and there's only ever been a handful of passengers, the rest are commercial drivers.

You would arrive 40 minutes before departure? With the state of security these days? Gate closes 25 mins before departure so you're giving yourself 15 minutes from the front door to the gate. That is ambitious.

Block time is until brakes-on. Add on time for airbridge and making secure until doors open. Then another 10 minutes through the airport to the bus station. Then wait for the bus.

There's easily another hour of hurry-up-and-wait you've elided from that air journey. I'm not saying ferries are fast ( not since they scrapped the HSS anyway ) but overall air travel is slower now than any time since the 1950s.

I think the main reason for the drop in GLA and BHX was EZY slashing the summer schedule. On certain days only one daily flight

EasyJet Aircraft Update

One of the A319s is being upgraded to a A320 on Wednesday (7th).
Making it 3x A319 & 2x A320.

6th aircraft (A320) arrives around 22nd June for the new routes starting to IOM, NAP, VLC. (Still a few gaps for a few extra flights or a new route or two on the extra A320)
Making it 3x A319 & 3x A320.

EasyJet extra flights S18

Looking at July 2018 and there is some extra flights added.

BHX - extra Sunday flight

FAO - extra Monday & Friday flights

PMI - extra Wednesday flight

AGP - extra Thursday flight

MAN - extra Sunday flight

Appears to fill most of the gaps. Monday & Friday mornings are still available.

So possibly one new route to be added!
