Warsaw Chopin Airport welcomes a record 1.2m travellers in July

Passenger figures at Warsaw Chopin Airport rose six percent in July 2015 compared to the same period last year.

The airport served 1,216,500 passengers last month, the highest figure Warsaw Chopin Airport has recorded for the month of July. However, the number of passenger operations, including both full-frill and low-cost airlines flights, dropped by 0.6 percent year-on-year, reaching 11,800.

Commenting on the Airport’s latest passenger figures, Radosław Paruzel, deputy director of Chopin Airport said: “We are happy with the results, as they show that the airport can handle a growing number of travellers without inconveniently increasing the number of operations. Growth in passenger numbers and a simultaneous drop in the number of services reflect better occupancy rates on flights. This is very good news also for airlines, which are achieving record results at our airport.”

As of the beginning of 2015 the airport served 6.4 million passengers, 7.1 percent more than during the first seven months of the previous year. This included 5.7 million people travelling internationally (up 8.6 percent) and 670 thousand people flying domestically (down 4.3 percent).
