The Airport Operators Association (AOA) said the statistics demonstrate the “devastating impact” of the virus on aviation.
Cardiff Airport suffered the largest decline at 86.7%, followed by Glasgow Prestwick (85.8%) and Exeter (85.5%).
Other airports with the biggest decreases in passengers include Southampton (83.4%), London City (82.3%) and Leeds Bradford (81.2%).
The UK’s largest airport, Heathrow, recorded a 72.7% reduction, from 80.9 million passengers in 2019 to 22.1 million last year.
The figures include all passengers who travelled through British airports excluding the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
Demand for air travel collapsed in March as the UK went into lockdown due to the coronavirus outbreak.
A partial recovery had occurred by late summer and early autumn, but passenger numbers plummeted again in November after many restrictions were reimposed in the face of a second wave of the virus.
