Airport statistics UK

The full UK airport statistics for 2013 are now available from the Civil Aviation Authority on-line, likewise the route numbers. 

Where there is a solo operator on any given city pair it is easy to establish numbers. 

For instance on Newquay – Gatwick carried 91,725, down 4% on the previous year, although 2014 is likely to be well up due to the rail and road problems earlier in the year.  London City to Kennedy was 22,175, virtually the same as the previous year with a double Airbus A318 operation.

The London conurbation of Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, City and Southend moved an astonishing 139 million making London by far the world’s largest international airline centre, plus 3% on 2013.

These are the airport statistics
