IAA report traffic figures for September

The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) today published the traffic figures for September 2008.
Overflights for the month at 27,048 were down 3.6% YoY over 2007.
Shanwick Oceanic traffic at 37,210 shows a comparable 3.9% YoY reduction over the 2007 figure of 38,722.
In terms of terminal movements at the three State airports the picture looks like this :
Dublin Airport is down 3.0% YoY over 2007. The September '08 figure is 18,531 movements.
Shannon Airport is down 23.8% YoY over 2007. The September '08 figure is 3,548 movements.
Cork Airport is down 33.4% YoY over 2007.  The September '08 figure is 5,230 movements.
Although no explanation is given, it would appear that the reduction in Dublin is line with the global picture but the very large reductions at Shannon and Cork are harder to explain.
