Here are August stats as released by airport authorities. Some remarks:
- UK still Nr 1 with a small decrease though and feeling Russia's breath; next summer we might see a new boss after many years.
- Most of the key markets gave increase or were stable.
- Belgium and Switzerland increases are worth mentioning while Italy and Israel traditionally give above average increases on August.
- France and Finland gave decrease once more.
- Third month of flights from 2 new markets, Spain and Kazakhstan. Vueling flying from Barcelona did even better than June and July (127 to 75 to 107 pass./flights respectivley), while Aegean's charters from Kazakhstan increased significantly giving some 110 passengers/flight compared to 79 and 125/flight of July and June respectively.
- Domestic arrivals dropped but flights also dropped.
