That time of the month again, where we can see what progress is being made. With this being a leap year, we would expect to see around 3.5% increase just because of the extra day.
Rolling 12 mths: 7.449m ( +9.4% over Feb 23 figure)
Feb Pax 475854 (+ 16%)
Feb International: 242909 (+24%)
Feb Domestic: 232362 (+8%)
On the routes front, Dubai was +37% at 26037 giving an 86.8% load factor for the month, so still strong performance. Increases of 60% on Paris CDG and 39% on FRA also helped the International side, with our new Wizz routes generating just over 6k in total.
Domestically, LGW +11%, LHR +18%, LCY +15%, LTN +3%, and STN +12% showing continued strength in the London market. Belfast almost static, but with approximately 4000 switching from City to International (-41% and +27% respectively). BHX down 26% reflecting the much reduced easyJet service, BRS also showing -12% on reduced schedules. However, SOU +33% reflecting the new EZY schedule.

Nice to see the increases. Hopefully the Southampton route sticks around as it goes to daily. I do find easyjet timings all over the place with times of flights different day to day. Only one early flight down to London on a Saturday.
