01.07.08 New figures from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) show that passenger numbers at regional airports grew in the first quarter of this year, but flight frequency decreased. Published in the CAA’s first edition of its new quarterly publication Aviation Trends, the figures show that passenger numbers at the regional UK hubs grew by 3% but flights to and from regional airports dipped, also by 3%. At the London airports, passenger numbers increased by 2% while flights in and out of the airports went up by 1%. Both figures indicate either that aircraft with higher seat capacity were flown on routes or that load factors had increased. For the first three months of this year passengers in the UK airports overall increased by 2%, with scheduled flights seeing a 3% boost in numbers and chartered flights dropping by 1%.
