June traffic figures – BAA's airports

12 July 2010
BAA traffic commentary: June 2010

BAA's passenger traffic in June was affected by British Airways cabin crew industrial action at the start of the month.

BAA's UK airports handled 9.5 million passengers, a drop of 1.7% on June 2009.

Without the impact of industrial action, it is estimated that Heathrow would have seen 140,000 more passengers last month and would have seen a 2.5% increase on last June.

The group's Scottish airports at Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen were all affected by the British Airways industrial action, with drops of 2.0%, 7.0% and 4.0% respectively compared to June 2009. Southampton recorded a 3.7% increase and Stansted a drop of 5.2%. Group wide passenger numbers would have reached June 2009 levels without the impact of industrial action.
    
Overall, the UK airports recorded a drop of 3.1% in the number of air transport movements.  Cargo traffic continued a period of strong growth, with tonnage up by 23.4% at Heathrow and by 21.7% at the wider group level.
