Southampton Airport’s passenger figures for February show an increase of 5% on February last year, with particular growth in international travel.

The airport welcomed 105,805 passengers through the terminal this February. Geneva, Salzburg, Amsterdam and Dublin were the routes with the biggest growth on last year, along with the airport’s longest-running routes to the Channel Islands.

Managing director Dave Lees said: “We are delighted with this increase in passengers, which we can attribute partly to Southampton Airport’s biggest ever ski season. We are now gearing up for a busy summer and look forward to the return of passengers using the airport to join their cruises in Southampton.”

At the end of March, Southampton Airport begins its new summer schedule. Tour operators such as Thomson, Thomas Cook and First Choice are all offering package holidays from Southampton to destinations like Majorca, the Algarve and the Italian Lakes from May until the autumn.
