| | Passengers down 4.1% in May21.06.10 Gatwick reported a 4.1% decline in passengers in May compared to a year earlier, blaming further ash cloud disruption, with passengers also affected by the timing of school half term holidays (falling predominantly in June this year compared to May in 2009). Air transport movements declined 4.2%, driven by a combination of the above factors and the capacity reductions by airlines. Air cargo tonnage continued to out-perform the prior year both on a monthly and 12 month basis. | May 10 | May 09 | Growth (%) | Jun 09 - May 10 | Growth (%) | Passengers (000s) | 2,730.9 | 2,846.5 | -4.1% | 31,760.1 | -3.2% | Market comparison: | | | | | | UK + Channel Islands | 301.5 | 313.9 | -4.0% | 3,584.7 | -0.5% | Ireland | 97.3 | 123.4 | -21.2% | 1,324.7 | -7.0% | European scheduled | 1,360.1 | 1,406.7 | -3.3% | 15,280.3 | 4.7% | European charter | 435.0 | 466.8 | -6.8% | 4,994.8 | -16.1% | North Atlantic | 187.6 | 219.1 | -14.4% | 1,994.7 | -26.9% | Other long haul | 349.4 | 316.6 | 10.4% | 4,580.9 | 1.5% | Air transport movements | 20,859 | 21,766 | -4.2% | 239,860 | -3.3% | Cargo (metric tonnes) | 9,674 | 5,536 | 74.7% | 88,283 | 7.8% |
