The TT fortnight saw a 4 per cent increase in air traffic over the same time last year.
Figures released today (Tuesday) show that more than 41,100 passengers used Ronaldsway during the period May 27 to June 10.
Last year around 39,800 passengers flew through the airport, and passenger numbers for TT 2012 has only been surpassed in recent years during the TT Centenary Year back in 2007, when there were about 2,200 more passengers.
Overall there were about 3,000 fewer seats available during the two weeks, as there was no Southampton service, fewer flights to/from Luton and the new British Airways service to London City only started with one flight a day on Monday 28th, as the full three flights a day service starts on June 25.
There were also several large aircraft charter flights during the period bringing visitors to the island for the TT but also taking residents off on their ‘TT getaway’ holidays.
As we reported earlier in the month. the Steam Packet reported its busiest TT in a decade, apart from the 2007 centenary.
Some 35,172 passengers travelled to the island on ferries between May 23 and June 8, up 4.3 per cent on 2011.
There was also a 3.4 per cent increase in the number of motorcycles, up to 11,237.
It should be noted that the Steam Packet and the airport use different dates in their definition of the TT period.
