Air passenger volumes in May increased by 4% compared to May 2024, representing an additional 2,268 travellers. Year-on-year, passenger numbers rose by 1%, or 2,857 people. This growth was primarily driven by UK routes, with modest increases across all year-round services to Birmingham, Bristol, Exeter, London Gatwick, Manchester, and Southampton.

Operational issues led Aurigny to cancel flights from London City during May, redirecting passengers through London Gatwick instead. While London City saw a decline of 918 passengers, Gatwick experienced a rise of 1,396, resulting in a net gain of 478 passengers on London routes.
