Straight answers about UK Civil Aviation Authority data
How far back does UK airport freight data go?
To 1973, in three layers: typed monthly tables from 2015 through 2026, annual summaries alongside them, and scanned publications covering 1973-2014 in three archive runs (1973-1982, 1983-1997, 1990-2014). Each verified row spans eleven years, so a decade of trend reads off a single line. Numeric work at scale starts at 2015 unless OCR enters the pipeline.
Which UK airports does the data cover?
Every CAA reporting airport - roughly 50 to 60 per release - identified individually and by group, with London Area Airports versus Other UK Airports as the built-in split. The verified 2025 figures include Heathrow at 1,549,027.260 tonnes, Stansted at 298,566.855, Gatwick at 120,315.020 (+16%) and Luton at 26,782.354 (-10%).
What sits inside a single annual release?
Twenty-six tables. Freight fills Table 13-1 (by type and nationality of operator), 13-2 (freight), 14 (international versus domestic) and 15 (by aircraft configuration); the parallel mail series runs Tables 16 through 18; movements, passengers and route analysis round out the set. Series 2, 7 and 11 are discontinued and flagged.
Does the same structure hold across months and years?
At airport level, yes: six documented columns - rundate, span, reporting-airport group, airport name, eleven annual values and the percent change across the span - verified against shipped files. Whether airline-level freight tables share that exact structure has not been checked file-by-file, and Datadory states that openly rather than promising symmetry.
