ACI EUROPE have released figures suggesting Non-EU airports have witness a rebound in July air passenger traffic following several months of very weak growth.
ACI EUROPE, the European airport trade body, has announced the latest figures from its traffic report for July 2015. The latest figures include results from 209 airports representing more than 88 percent of European air passenger traffic.
During July, passenger traffic at Europe’s airports grew by 6.7 percent pointing to a strong peak summer season for air travel. At EU airports, the average passenger traffic growth was 6.4 percent with Slovenia, Ireland, Hungary, Romania and Luxembourg leading the region with double digit growth. Passenger traffic at Non-EU airports rebounded after several months of very weak growth, reporting a +7.6 percent increase – despite continued weakness in Russia.
Elsewhere, freight traffic across the European airport network reported tepid growth of 0.5 percent. Finally, aircraft movements were up 2.6 percent, reflecting increased airline capacity.
During July, airports welcoming more than 25 million passengers per year (Group 1), airports welcoming between 10 and 25 million passengers (Group 2), airports welcoming between 5 and 10 million passengers (Group 3) and airports welcoming less than 5 million passengers per year (Group 4) reported an average adjustment of +5.7 percent, +8.4 percent, +6.6 percent and +6.3 percent respectively.
