Airport figures for June

BAA passenger traffic in June was affected by the British Airways cabin crew industrial action at the start of the month, the Spanish-owned airport operator handling 9.5m passengers through its six operations, a drop of 1.7% on the same period last year.  Without the impact of industrial action, it is estimated that Heathrow would have seen 140,000 more passengers, a 2.5% increase. The group's Scottish airports at Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow were all affected by the industrial action, with drops of 7%, 4% and 2% respectively compared to June 2009.  Southampton recorded a 3.7% increase and Stansted a decrease of 5.2%.  www.baa.com
