The article does mention a rise in charter passengers in March - LPA and a LCA departure on the 31st will be responsible for that
HUMBERSIDE Airport is set for a busy bank holiday weekend, with latest statistics predicting 2,500 passengers will be travelling through the airport this weekend.
During the four-day Easter break, figures show a 47 per cent rise in passengers, compared to Easter 2008.
The majority of passengers using Humberside Airport over the Easter period will be travelling to Schiphol, Amsterdam with KLM.
Humberside operates four flights a day to Amsterdam and, once in Holland, passengers can connect to more than 240 worldwide destinations.
Over the holiday period, Easter Saturday is set to be the busiest day at the airport, with passengers jetting off to the sunny hotspots of Turkey and the Canaries.
During March this year 7,600 passengers travelled on package holidays from Humberside Airport, compared to 5,300 in 2008, despite the Easter holiday falling a month earlier last year.
Humberside Airport director Tony Lavan said: "The Easter period has provided a seasonal boost to the numbers departing and arriving from Humberside Airport.
"These figures are encouraging and demonstrate that people are still looking to get away over the holiday period."
