Heathrow's increase ensured that it handled an all time high of 78 million passengers in 2017. Presents for holidays with aviation themes - >>> “Los Angeles World Airports is excited to continue to embrace and amplify the message that Everyone is Welcome to Los Angeles, and our multi-billion dollar investment in LAX modernisation is a testament to our focus on creating a gold-standard airport worthy of our international city and visitors,” said Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners president, Sean Burton. Oslo Airport handled 27.5 million passengers in 2017 as traffic across Avinor's Norwegian airport network inreased by 2.1 million passengers last year. "Improvements in the Norwegian economy, and consequently greater optimism both among businesses and individuals, is the main reason behind the increase in passenger numbers," noted Avinor CEO, Dag Falk-Petersen. Presents for holidays with aviation themes - >>> A total of 27.8 milllion passengers passed through Manchester Airport in the UK in 2017 – an increase of 8.5% on the previous year.
“It was also particularly pleasing that we were able to considerably increase our connectivity, particularly across Europe, by securing more than 30 routes and services during the year. “Over the last 12 months we also made considerable improvements to the airport by investing more than £25 million on a number of successful projects including the resurfacing of the runway, increasing aircraft stand capacity and the opening of our new consolidated car rental centre. Edinburgh, Scotland's busiest airport, welcomed 13.4 million passengers in 2017 breaking all records in the process. “That success is of course down to the vast choice of destinations we offer, our partner airlines and businesses, but it’s also down to the dedicated and expert staff who work across our campus to ensure the airport operates smoothly and successfully. “We’ve already announced new and extended routes this year and construction continues on our £80 million extension project so we are preparing for further growth. “We are excited about what 2018 will bring and we hope to deliver more choices and destinations for our passengers throughout the year.” Джерело інформації: Airport World |
