1. The CAA surveys collected statistics only for the airports shown in the table. These results are based on a departure survey only. The CAA's assumption, for weighting purposes, is that arriving and departing passengers share the same modal characteristics
2. Airports are shown only for the years for which figures are given in the CAA survey reports for 1996 (which also gives earlier years' results), 2001, 2005 and 2009.
*. The figures for 1996 and earlier years may appear not to total 100% because they were rounded independently and then given only as whole percentages.
