Holidaymakers bring Christmas cheer to BAA
Christmas holidaymakers helped airports group BAA show a marked improvement in passenger numbers for December compared to the two previous months.
Passenger volume was down by 6.4% compared to December 2000, suggesting that people are starting to travel again after the September 11 terrorist attacks. In October and November traffic was down by 12% and 10.6% respectively.
BAA said: “Whilst this represents continued progress on the results of October and November, much of December’s improvement can be attributed to very strong Christmas holiday traffic, where in the 7 days ending December 31, passenger numbers were similar to last year.”
During December, BAA’s seven UK airports handled 8.2 million passengers. The North Atlantic and other long haul markets showed the strongest recovery from the post September 11 fall with North Atlantic traffic down by 13% in December, while other long haul traffic fell by 6.0%.
