Passengers down at airport

PASSENGER numbers at Birmingham International Airport fell by 8.6 per cent in November.

It welcomed 567,524 passengers last month.

Chief executive Paul Kehoe said in a press release: “It remains the case that the winter season will be particularly tough for the aviation industry, despite indications that confidence is slowly returning to the market.

“November’s 8.6% downturn is indicative of the difficult conditions facing the industry as a whole, however the airport team continues to discuss a number of possibilities with new airlines.”
