Corona virus and its effects on GLA

[Bearsden]

The CAA's tables for August now published - GLA recording 163,000 passengers in the month down 82% on August 2019

As a comparison EDI 315,000 down 79% & PIK 13,000 down 84%

A quick extract of international passenger flows above 3,000 in the month gives an interesting comparison and shows the effect of traffic flows to Eastern Europe from EDI with Warsaw, Prague, Krakow & Gdansk occupying 4 of the top 6 places

It really just shows that Ryanair kept relatively active IMO.

[McG]

Do the figures account for both inbound and outbound pax?

Because if they do then the domestics totals should be the same for both airports. However the tables show discrepancies. Barra and Heathrow were two I noticed where the numbers were different.

also easyJet and significantly Wizzair who are new business to EDI

Yes we know.

How should they be the same?

Are you referring to capacity? These are actually passengers flown so don’t understand why you think the total should be the same.

[McG]

No what I am asking is do the totals account for outbound pax only on a route, or both inbound and outbound?

If outbound only, then yes the totals should be different.

[G-WATP]

They're inbound and outbound. What differences are you seeing? Table 12 shows only one entry for GLA - BRR and GLA - LHR so I'm not sure what differences you're seeing?

[McG]

Ignore me, I’ve misread the tables. So GLA-LHR has slightly more than LHR-GLA which would give a total of just over 30K pax combined?

Are the international figures outbound only?

[G-WATP]

The international figures are two-way too. The number of passengers flying between GLA and LHR (i.e. the sum of those flying GLA to LHR and LHR to GLA) in August 2020 was 15,183 from Table 12.2. The table title could hardly be clearer: "Table 12.2 Domestic Air Passenger Traffic To and From Reporting Airports for August 2020"

So GLA-LHR has slightly more than LHR-GLA which would give a total of just over 30K pax combined?

Where are you seeing this? The number was 15,183 as explained above.
