Air passengers vanish

News that East Midlands airport had lost nearly one million passengers in 12 months, due to the economic squeeze, volcanic ash disruption etc, prompted me to seek similar data from Newquay: I am grateful for the airport's reply:

Terminal Passengers (000's)
2007-08: 357
2008-09: 408
2009-10: 359
2010-11 (forecast): 329

This is a 19.4% drop over the last two years, or 79,000 passengers. Not as bad as East Midlands but I suspect worrying for those seeking to pursue plans for the airport's expansion.
