Passenger traffic at UK airports increased in May but fell in both April and June, according to new statistics from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
Provisional figures show a 1.6 per cent decrease in passenger flow in April, followed by a 0.9 per cent increase in May and a one per cent fall in June.
Growth at Glasgow Airport has been stagnant for ten months, while Newcastle and London Stansted have seen passenger traffic decline for eight months in a row.
However, London City has enjoyed double figures growth since the start of 2007. With the exception of Luton, it is the only London airport to record growth in each month of this year.
Last month, the CAA released figures that show the number of passengers using UK airports was two per cent higher in the first quarter of 2008 when compared with the corresponding period last year.
