February saw a 6% increase in passenger numbers compared to February 2024. Having started the year with a 2% decrease in January, the increase in February means we are now up by 2% for the year to date – a 4% swing. Per the January stats last month, the London City route was not operational in February 2024, meaning there is no direct year-on-year comparison for that route. However, the 2,643 passengers who utilised the route in February effectively offset the 1,473 passenger drop on the Gatwick route, indicating that overall London-bound traffic not only remains stable, but increased by circa 1,200 passengers compared to February last year, with a significant proportion of travellers opting for London City.

It's a similar story with the Paris route; we don’t have a year on year or monthly comparison yet as the route commenced in April 2024, but will be able to report these comparisons from April onwards.
