Every year, We publish a summary of the results of each of our passenger surveys in a compact report. These reports contain tables and charts showing top level figures for each airport surveyed, showing characteristics and trends of passengers.

Download the reports below free of charge.

If you require any further information regarding any of the reports shown please email PassengerSurveyDataRequest@caa.co.uk.

A zip file containing all the tables for each report (since 1998) in an Excel version is also available priced £100 + vat. Please email us at PassengerSurveyDataRequest@caa.co.uk to order.
