The growth in air passenger traffic is expected to be supported by the increasing demand for domestic and international air travel
- The gradual relaxation of travel restrictions in various European countries in 2022 made travel within the continent much easier than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to this trend, international demand soared, with passengers unable to travel during the lockdowns eager to fly abroad once again instead of taking domestic vacations. In 2022, air passenger traffic in the whole of Europe reached 1.3 billion, a growth of 8% compared to 2021. The United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain accounted for 36% of the total air passenger traffic in Europe and, hence, may generate more demand for new aircraft compared to other European countries over the coming years. European airlines have also been responsible for carrying almost 40% of global international air passengers.
- European airport traffic grew by 247% in the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021, resulting in an additional 660 million passengers handled across the continent. The United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Turkey, and Germany, which have some of the countries with the busiest airports, recorded a significant rise in passenger traffic in H1 2022. In August 2022, passenger traffic in the top five European airports increased by 68.1% but remained -17.5% below pre-pandemic August 2019 levels, mainly due to continued travel restrictions in Asia. A similar increase in air passenger traffic was observed at airports in the Rest of Europe in August 2022. Commercial air traffic declined from Ukrainian airports, and airports in Belarus and Russia recorded declining passenger volumes as well since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine War. The air passenger traffic is expected to surge by 31% during 2023-2030, with increased demand in domestic and international aviation.
