London Gatwick - 79
London Luton - 24
Manchester - 21
Bristol - 17
Edinburgh - 9
Belfast International - 8
Liverpool - 7
Glasgow - 5
Birmingham - 3

That's what I have found, LGW might actually be higher than that.

And that's the primary reason BRS now handles 2 million more passengers than GLA despite it having relatively poor access (road only) and is located on the top of a hill

Its growth clearly affected its nearest competitor at Cardiff and obviously has very limited intercontinental traffic with Heathrow along the M4

As a regular user of BRS I can confirm access is a freakin' nightmare and the airport is located in the arse-end of nowhere and is a shambles. Still putting us to shame though obviously.Tragic.

Truly tragic. Frankly, without the domestic routes - particularly London - I do wonder if GLA would even be a base...
It is tragic. EZY could/should be doing so much more from GLA, especially as their arch-rivals FR are practically non existent at GLA.
Having said that, I firmly belive the most successful route out of the doldrums for GLA is an FR base, starting with a minimum of two units.
Think we'd see EZY get their finger out then.

Wizz Air adding Rome FCO to BHX. 3x weekly from June.

This is the sort of away based flying that GLA could really do it.
