Mr John Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport with reference to the air transport consultation process, if he will place in the Library the extrapolated passenger figures for Birmingham Airport for the period 2031 to 2060 referred to in the document Regional Air Services 3: Midlands Part B Appraisal Final Report section Core Economic Appraisal 2.9.4.
Mr David Jamieson
Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport
The passenger throughputs which could be accommodated at Birmingham International Airport, under the options presented in the consultation document, were appraised under two scenarios, the RASCO Reference Case and SERAS, the South East Constrained Case. The figures for Birmingham Airport are as follows.
| 2031 | 2041 | |
|---|---|---|
| SERAS | ||
| Max use | 21,307,335 | 22,000,000 |
| Close | 33,973,889 | 34,000,000 |
| Wide | 45,000,000 | 45,000,000 |
| RASCO | ||
| Max use | 20,711,392 | 22,000,000 |
| Close | 31,359,223 | 34,000,000 |
| Wide | 36,726,164 | 45,000,000 |
Once capacity has been reached, by 2041, the figures remain at these levels up to 2060.
