Figures for March are now updated.

Considering the TOP4 airports only;

Variation number of Intl passengers compared to last year

Recife +30%
Salvador +1%
Fortaleza -4%
Natal -15%

Variation number of Domestic passengers compared to last year

Natal +24%
Recife +21%
Salvador +2%
Fortaleza -0.5%

However, interestingly enough, if you take the total market (all international flights) and compare market share (of total arrivals how many went to each airport), Natal is heads and shoulders above the rest.

This would indicate that Natal is still gaining in comparison to the other airports. Recife is a surprise because despite having a huge increase in number of passengers, it's actually getting less share of the total arrivals.

Total Intl arrivals Jan-Mar 2008: 349.306
Total Intl arrivals Jan-Mar 2007: 346.852
(-2.454 Intl passengers in 2008)

% Share of international arrivals 2008 compared to 2007:

Natal + 3.5 %
Fortaleza + 1%
Salvador 0% change
Recife -4%
