Aberdeen Airport reports first growth in almost 3 years
Aberdeen Airport saw an end to nearly three years of falling passenger numbers in January. Almost 200,000 people passed through the terminal in January, a 9.1% increase on the same period last year. It is the first time the airport’s passenger figures have increased since April 2008, although heavy snowfall in January 2010 did make the figures from a year ago lower than expected.
The airport’s managing director, Derek Provan, said: ‘These figures must be analysed in the context of the severe weather experienced in January of last year, which was more badly affected by winter weather than January 2011. However, we are seeing a gradual growth in confidence from some airlines and continue to work with our airline partners to deliver growth at Aberdeen Airport this year.’
Edinburgh and Glasgow also saw increased passengers, with rises of 13.6% and 8% respectively.

Haven't looked at ABZ for a number of years. My last post showed the December 2011 figures (see above) when the airport was beginning to boom.
It reached over 3,725,000 by the end of 2014 but this year has been downhill all the way. The savage cutbacks in the oil industry have affected Aberdeen and its airport to a worrying degree.
CAA stats for September show that annual throughput had dropped to 3,566,363. This is only 2.6% down on a year ago but recent months have seen exaggerated drops. September was 18% down at 279,077 with atms for the month down a massive 44%. There are suggestions that October will be down around 15%.
Until the oil industry stabilises it's difficult to see how ABZ can stem the passenger number decreases.

March 2016
Passengers this month = 236,318 (-16.1)
Rolling year = 3,341,188 (-10.2)
Aircraft movements this month = 6,821 (-18.8)
Rolling year = 90,735 (-14.3)
Pretty grim statistics overall, provoking a lot of displeasure on other forums. Only a few routes out of ABZ haven't experienced drops in passenger numbers.

It just goes to show how local economic conditions can impact flights from regional airports. Aberdeen is effectively in a micro #recession.
So far as the figures go and purely from a selfish perspective it does at least allow my local airport to climb the airport league table a little bit more.

It looks as if they have got to the "bottom of the trough" and will start increasing again, but at a slow rate.
