European airport passenger traffic tops pre-Covid level
Briefly

In 2024, European airports recorded a remarkable 2.5 billion passengers, representing a 7.4% increase compared to the previous year and surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 1.8%. The growth was largely fueled by an 8.8% rise in international traveler numbers, while domestic travel increased by 2.5% but still lagged behind 2019 statistics. ACI Europe indicated that approximately 200 million more passengers were welcomed, despite challenges such as high airfares and prevailing geopolitical issues. However, many airports are still struggling to reach pre-COVID traffic levels, leading to a highly competitive airport market across Europe.
Passenger traffic reached 2.5 billion in 2024, up 7.4 percent from the previous year, driven primarily by a surge in international travelers.
Despite elevated airfares and geopolitical tensions, many European airports exceeded previous historic records by welcoming an additional 200 million passengers.
