The recession started as far back as 2008 and since this date UK companies involved in providing foreign travel have seen significant reductions in volumes which has unfortunately seen a spate of smaller travel companies go to the wall.

Stansted 10.7%

Manchester 11.5%

East Midlands 17.2%

Heathrow 1.5%

Gatwick 5.3%
