BAA passenger number increase
Tue, 18 Sep, 2007
Britain's airports are booming in popularity, new figures suggest.
BAA has announced that August was the company's busiest month so far in 2007 with its airports handling a total of 15.2 million passengers.
The company runs several airports around the country, including London Heathrow Airport, London Gatwick Airport, London Stansted Airport, Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow Airport.
Edinburgh and London Stansted saw the biggest increases in air traffic, recording a rise of ten per cent and seven per cent respectively.
North Atlantic traffic rose by 10.2 per cent and long-haul flights increased by 6.2 per cent.
With the number of Brits jetting off out of the country increasing, passengers may find it prudent to pre book their airport parking online before they embark on their journey.
Earlier this year, BAA announced that it would invest £9.3 billion into helping ease congestion at its airports and increase passenger enjoyment of the experience.
