Passenger numbers have remained consistent year-on-year, with air travel to the island seeing a slight increase of 866 passengers compared to the same period in 2024 - a modest increase of 0.23%. In September, air routes from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick, Leeds/Bradford, Manchester, and London City all experienced growth, which is encouraging. The only year-round route to experience a decrease in numbers during September was Southampton, with a small drop of 520 passengers, equating to 6%. The increase of 10% on the Paris route during September helps support the year-on-year increase of 34%, equivalent to just shy of 1900 people. This helps demonstrate that our campaigns in Paris are complimenting the marketing across Brittany and Normandy, and that the increase in French visitors is not solely down to the new Brittany Ferries’ routes.
