Edinburgh Airport passengers were down 4.3% last month on the same time last year but still topped one million.
The decrease was blamed on Ryanair ending its Stansted service and airlines reducing services over winter.
A total of 1,000,246 passengers passed through. Domestic was down 13.5% to 411,819 and international up 3.3% 588,427, helped by Delta's increased daily service to JFK; new routes for Ryanair to Billund, Luxembourg and Bucharest; Loganair to Bergen and Stavanger and Lauda to Vienna.
Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: “We’re on course for another record year at Edinburgh Airport and we welcome that but there’s always a disappointment that we haven’t been able to share Edinburgh and Scotland with more tourists.
“The end of one of our most popular domestic routes has clearly had an impact and the winter season always sees a small reduction in services so these numbers are not unexpected, but it does show that the industry requires support to address the connectivity deficit that Scotland has.”
