SOUTHAMPTON AIRPORT has for the first time ever carried one million passengers in a 12 month period. The BAA Plc owned site, now in its 92nd year, set its previous record figure in 2000 when just under 860,000 people flew in and out of the airport. Last year numbers declined to 790,000. The new figures demonstrate the rapid growth of FLyBE, who now represent 50% of the airport”s traffic and serves 15 airports. In June 2002 FLyBE had just one route, to Guernsey, which was worth just 10k passengers. http://www.baa.com
