12.03.11
Glasgow Airport saw a rise in passengers for the second month running, with 3.9% more travellers (416,252 in total) passing through the hub in February. Domestic passengers were up by 2.5%, with the number of international passengers up by 6.6%. A spokesman for the airport said the second consecutive monthly rise showed that, after a difficult period, the airport had ‘entered a period of growth’.
Managing director Amanda McMillan added: ‘The numbers suggest a renewed confidence among passengers and this is being reflected in the decisions made by a number of airlines. We endured a difficult 2010, but we have been working closely with our airlines to enhance our route network and increase capacity. I'm please this has yielded positive results.’
In the year to the end of February, the airport had 6.57m passengers, down 8.0% on the previous 12 month period. Rival Edinburgh had 8.7m passengers, down 3.7%.
