1. These figures cover only passengers on services which were supported by the Route Development Fund. They do NOT necessarily represent the total passenger numbers for these routes, because there might be other services on these routes which are not supported by the RDF, for example, in cases where RDF funding was provided for a route for only one financial year, this table does not show any passenger numbers or that route for subsequent financial years (because there were no services on that route which were supported by the RDF in the later years). That is why the table shows blanks for some routes for some years.
2. RDF funding is provided for financial years, so this table gives figures for financial years, unlike the other passenger number tables, earlier in the chapter, which provide figures for calendar years.
3. Passenger traffic based on data from the RDF.
4. Last four months of financial year based on UKCAA route traffic data.
5. Passenger traffic based on UKCAA data.
6. This route was previously shown in the domestic section above.
