Passenger numbers have remained consistent year-on-year, with air travel to the island seeing a small increase of 1,916 passengers compared to the same period in 2024. In October, air routes from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Exeter, Gatwick, Manchester, and Southampton all experienced growth, which is encouraging. The only year-round route to experience a decrease in numbers during September was London City, with a small drop of 153 passengers, equating to 3%, however, with Gatwick showing an increase of 785 passengers, net traffic to London was up. The increase of 40% on the Paris route during October helps support the year-on-year increase of 34%, equivalent to 2,128 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.
