Stansted a worry

BAA has published the October passenger traffic figures for the seven airports it currently owns.  Overall numbers fell by 1.4%, the best performance since June 2008.  Heathrow was up 1% for the same month last year and small increases were noted for both Edinburgh and Gatwick.  Stansted is still the major problem with seats on offer down by 11.7% and actual numbers falling by 10.1%.  The airport is due to be sold unless an appeal is successful.  Glasgow (down 9.2%), Aberdeen (down 8.3%) and Southampton (down 6.4%) also all continued to see passenger traffic fall. www.baa.com
