Passengers down 2%
19.05.08
Prestwick Airport handled 198,489 passengers in April, down 2% on a year earlier but 3% up on the performance in March. Ryanair's services to Rome, Murcia and Barcelona were the most popular routes during the month, along with the airport's six Polish services operated by Ryanair and Wizz Air.
Ryanair's Bournemouth service increased to twice daily at the beginning of the month and Prestwick was named Best Cargo Airport (among worldwide airports which handle up to 100,000 tonnes of freight per year) at the Air Cargo News awards.
The airport handled 2871 tonnes of freight in April, a marginal improvement on last April but down 14% on the March performance. The adverse month-on-month variance is partly due to a Cargoitalia aircraft going for its major maintenance check, temporarily reducing the number of flights per week to one, the airport said.
