That time of the month again, a poor August with growth of 1.5% (<11k). This is the lowest percentage growth of any of the top 10, although we are holding on to 9th spot but with BFS catching up. Bristol's lead over us has stretched out to 2.2m.
Total pax: 708820 (+10446) terminal & transit
Domestic: 282490 (+1613)
Internat'l: 426093 (+9091) Dubal alone grew by 8.8k
NB - a drop in transit pax accounting for the arithmetical difference between the totals
12mth y/y: 7.144m (79% of 2019)

Lower percentage growth v the rest of the top 10 is concerning.
Re DXB that works out as an increase of approx 140 pax per flight. I think that means the A380 was running pretty much full. Surely again evidence that double daily is needed? The demand is there.

Not good enough for one of the busiest months of the year.

NATS ATC failure and residual disruption will have had an impact on figures, primarily domestics.

Only to a point though, as it affected airports nationwide, so everyone shared in the misery. UK growth in total came in at 15%, including a staggering 25% at Heathrow, and even 13% at Manchester. Bristol and BFS, which bracket GLA in the league, were respectively +16% and +17%.

Dubai daily average 1007, with capacity of 1034, so again a 97% load factor.

I concur. Especially when you see the increases across other airports. Hopefully good things to come for 2024.Fingers crossed.

That IS impressive. Roll on the additional triple 7 flight soon.

You would certainly assume that a second daily 773 is a forgone conclusion now. 97% LF is mighty impressive on the big bird. This aside, much improvement needed at GLA. We are really falling short of where we should be.

4 out of the 5 main airports in Scotland all recorded around -20% compared to August 2019 . . . Glasgow -22%
The other airport actually beat August 2019 . . . . but only just
