From 7 January UK airports can apply to the Department of Transport for permission to allow more than one item of cabin baggage per passenger. However, the airport will need to demonstrate that they have sufficient screening to cope with the extra bags. Strict rules will remain in place on the transport of liquids in hand luggage. Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly, commenting on the announcement, said the one bag limit was intended to be a temporary arrangement.

Humberside Airport and Humberside Airport travel (HAT) are celebrating after making the most of the UK’s wet and dreary summer. Bumper figures for July and August with HAT announced an impressive 68% increase in turnover for July compared to the same time last year. The grey weather has played a role in the figures, with holiday makers desperately chasing the sunshine. 92% of bookings made in July through HAT were last minute deals with people travelling between July and October. The trend for summer sunshine breaks was also evident during the August bank holiday weekend. Anyone who left booking a short break to the last minute was left disappointed as holidays for the weekend were already fully booked by the end of July. Airport bosses are now urging anyone intending to get away for the October half term to book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment. With bookings already being confirmed for the half term holidays, availability may become limited over the next few weeks. Rob Goldsmith, Managing Director, Humberside Airport said: “We’re obviously delighted with the recent performance. It has been a busy few months and we hope that the trend will continue. We’re now looking ahead to the winter season and look forward to welcoming even more new travellers to Humberside Airport.” For further Humberside airport information, terminal facilities and live flight information click on the links. |
