May passenger numbers out with 110,944 passengers, up 12% from 98,765.
Continuing to put passenger numbers over 1m for the rolling year from Jun 25 - May 26.

May scheduled routes LF's below.
Some good improvements through the year so far, with sun routes in the high 80%.
Dublin isn't great, neither is Toronto, but it is the first few weeks.

I was a bit disappointed by the Dublin loads from LBA as well - higher capacity than April but fewer passengers putting the loads at 74%

Good to see the growth and the rolling year over 1,000,000

June passenger numbers out with 136,896 passengers, up 18% from 116,385.
Rolling year is about 1.033m
June scheduled routes LF's below.
I've also accounted for TUI FAO due to the poor numbers appearing over recent weeks at 88.1% LF
Dublin still disappointing but unsurprising. Toronto picking up.
Amsterdam doing well, up 8%, in comparison to Teeside (7398 - down 16%) and Southampton (8754 - down 19%)

I'm currently away with family, however I will produce my usual monthly report as soon as possible - although it may be the weekend before I have been able to do all the work necessary.

My apologies for the delay in giving my 'take' on the CAA data for June.

July statistics are available on the CAA website.

July CAA Passenger stats

August 2026 stats

Another strong month for some routes.
140,788 passengers, up 14% on 2025 with 123,785.
Rolling year stands at 1,064,855.

Westjet had a good month at 87% LF.
Looks like FR and VY had a good month on their routes.
TUI's LF's included. Some routes still struggling (FAO, DBV, REU), but the higher frequency routes seem to be doing well with the extra flights (DLM, NBE, PMI and TFS)

Is your rolling year figure correct as it’s not gone up 140k since July if the total is 1,064,855?

Am i missing something?
