Estimates of passengers flying from airports in the Yorkshire and Humberside region, which are Leeds, Bradford and Humberside, to these destinations are available. Data for 1978, 1988 and 1998 are listed in the table.

Estimates are also made by the Civil Aviation Authority of the total number of UK passengers originating in the Yorkshire and Humberside region flying from UK airports on international services. These data are not disaggregated by destination and are available only for selected years. Figures for 1987 and 1997 are listed in the table.
