553,588 passengers (Arrivals and Departures) passed through Fuerteventura airport in October 2018. That is a 1.4% decrease compared to October 2017.
A total of 5,162,549 have passed through the airport between Jan-Oct, which is a 2.2% increase on the same period last year.

That works out, I think, between 7500 & 8000 passengers less in that month period (compared to last year) I imagine that some of this could be down to increased costs of the package deals along with the decrease in the £ rate due to the circumstances over the last year. Regardless of the U.K. governments rhetoric that the economy is improving I personally think that people’s grip on their dwindling cash pot is getting tighter. To be honest, I cannot say I have seen any great overall improvement since the crash in 2008. Just my opinion though

There has also been at least one (Monarch) and possibly other airlines that have folded. I used to fly to and fro with Norwegian but they stopped doing short haul. If no other airlines have picked up the slack wouldn't this account for a fair drop in passenger numbers?

7860 passengers down in a month is a lot that equates to roughly 22 plane arrivals less , or the supposedly good load figures that airlines are reporting are not true .
Ron whilst UK belt may still be tight other countries must also contributing to the reduction .

As a comparison, there was a 2.5% drop in passengers at Lanzarote airport in October.  They are down 0.7% on the year so far.

Always good to see the numbers going up, especially in the current economic climate

Wow. That is one of the main reasons I usually try to go “off airport” for ours. The queues are never as bad. Got stuck at one of those ones before & was there an hour & a half with only about four people in front. Never again !!
