The same comparison between January 2009 with January 2007 shows average increases of +7.0%, +8.0%, +8.9% and +4.0% respectively.
ACI says that airports that bucked the trend in the January 2009 and January 2008 monthly comparison include Berlin SXF (+5.5%), Milan/Orio al Serio (+4.2%) and Bergen (+2.0%) in Group 3 and Liege (+57.4%), Sofia (+14.3%), Riga (+10.3%), Kristiansand (+3.5%) and Aalesund (+2.0%) in Group 4.
