The CAA has released provisional passenger figures for January 2010 which show that 322,048 passengers passed through Liverpool an increase of 7.9% over January 2009 which is encouraging. However, the figures were still below the January 2008 & 2007 figures by about 40,000 passengers.

Liverpool was the ONLY major airport in the UK to show an increase in passenger figures in January 2010. The only other airports to show increases for January 2009 were Dundee, Manston and Tresco in the Scilly Isles.

Interestingly Manchester's passenger fgures for January 2010 are down 14% on January 2009 levels, with a moving annual total of 18.4 million passengers, a far cry from the days when tha MAT was 22 Million.

BBC Northwest news,carried an item at luchtime,regarding the drop in passengers at Manchester,during the report they also stated that both Liverpool and Blackpool had passenger drops in 2009,this we all know,but there was no mention of the increasing trend at Liverpool in the last few months,and the continuing downward trend at Manchester,again the full facts have not been reported correctly by our local news service,which is provided from Manchester.
