Glasgow Airport's numbers are up
Tue, 18 Sep, 2007
Glasgow Airport has seen an increase in passenger numbers, the first rise since the failed terrorist attack in June, it has been reported.
BAA Scotland figures show 870,000 passengers passed through the airlines gates in August, the Paisley Daily Express reports.
Managing director of the airport Gordon Dewar commented to the publication: "August was a good month for many of our long-haul carriers, with destinations like Dubai, New York and Philadelphia continuing to grow in popularity."
Mr Dewar noted that the airport had faced some challenging times this summer following the aftermath of the failed terrorist attempt at the beginning of June.
He added that the incident may have a long-term effect on passenger numbers.
With Glasgow Airport passenger numbers increasing, it may be beneficial to some passengers to pre-book their airport parking before the day they travel.
BAA had a reason to celebrate at the Business Traveller Awards earlier this week as London Heathrow scooped the Best Airport Hotel award.
