Bristol Airport passenger numbers for June were 6.7 percent higher than 2007, as a result of additional low cost capacity. Domestic passengers were 7.0 percent lower than last year, due to reductions in load factors, but international passengers increased 24.3 percent, as a result of the opening of a new Ryanair base last November, new easyJet routes and the introduction of flights by Lufthansa this March. Charter traffic was 13.5 percent lower due to continued consolidation - and capacity reduction - in the package holiday industry.
In the 12 months to the end of June passengers were up 8.6 percent on a year earlier to 5.675m. Domestic passengers were 8.3 percent lower at 1.33m whilst charter passengers were down 1.3 percent to 1.35m. International passengers were up 20.6 percent to 2.99m, and now account for 53 percent of total passengers at the hub.
