Passenger numbers up at airport

After seven months of decline passengers numbers through Ronaldsway Airport have finally picked up.

Last month saw 59,500 passengers travel to and from the Island - the highest November figure for five years.

It’s a seven per cent increase compared to the same time last year.

The North West and London routes fared particularly well however smaller regional routes suffered with Leeds, Luton and Jersey all seeing a decline in numbers.

Despite the positive figures it's still expected that overall figures for 2012 will show a decline.
