The total number of passengers using LFV airports was 2.5 million during October. This is a decrease of 9% compared with the same month the previous year. International passenger numbers were down 8% to 1.4 million passengers and domestic 9 % to 1.1 million.
For the period January-October 2009 the total number of passengers at LFV Airports was 12% less compared with the same period in 2008. International passenger numbers were down 11% and domestic 14%.
- In October the decrease in percent was lower than was recorded previously this year. This is primarily due to the downturn which began in October 2008 and therefore the comparison is made with already weaker figures, says Henrik Littorin, Analyst at LFV.
Of all LFV airports two showed an increase in passenger numbers during October, those are Stockholm-Bromma with an increase of 8% and Åre Östersund with 5%. Stockholm-Arlanda dropped 10% and Göteborg Landvetter 12%.
- The domestic trend continues with an increase in traffic to Norrland and Stockholm-Bromma, as seen earlier this year. One very positive sign is that international traffic also increased in October, concludes Henrik Littorin.
The number of scheduled and charter landings decreased by 9% in October compared with the same month the previous year. International by 12% and domestic by 7%. The accumulated number of landings for the period January-October 2009 was 163 200, down by 11%.
