This impressive growth in passenger traffic was driven by a mix of one-off factors and more structural
ones. These include markets affected by terrorism last year bouncing back, the return of strong
passenger demand in Russia and to a lesser extent in Turkey, continued improvement in the economy
and oil prices consistently remaining below $55 per barrel.
Against this background, the EU and non-EU markets ended up posting similar growth levels in
passenger traffic respectively at +8.7% and +9.9%.
In the EU, the Benelux along with Cyprus, Malta and Portugal in the South as well as Estonia,
Lithuania, Poland, The Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia to the East all achieved double
digit growth. In the non-EU market, Albania, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro and Ukraine each grew
by well above +20%.
The Majors (Europes Top 5 busiest airports) recorded a passenger traffic increase of +4.3% in H1
a notable improvement over their 2016 performance (+1.6%). Amsterdam-Schiphol topped the
league in terms of growth (+8.7%), followed by Paris-CDG (+5.2%), Frankfurt (+4.5%). Capacity-
constrained London-Heathrow still managed to grow (+3.9%), while Istanbul-Atatrk kept regaining
lost ground (-1.1%).
Stronger growth focused mainly on secondary hubs and medium sized airports reflecting
evolving competitive dynamics largely driven by Low Cost Carriers and non-EU Full Service Carriers.
In this regard, the best performing airports included Keflavik (+39.7%), St Petersburg (+26%), Kiev
(+29.4%), Antalya (+29.2%), Warsaw (+24.7%), Brussels (+23.4%), Larnaca (+22.7%), Lisbon
(+22.3%), Prague (+21%), Naples (+20.5%), Malta (+20.2%), Bucharest (+20.4%), Porto and Faro
(both +18.5%), Moscow-Sheremetyevo (+17.7%), Catania (+17.4%), Berlin-SFX (+17%), Tel-Aviv
(+17.3%), Birmingham (+16%), Toulouse (+15.2%), Valencia (+15.3%) and Milan-Malpensa
(+14.8%).
Accordingly, passenger traffic losses were largely concentrated on smaller airports (with less than
5 million passengers per annum).
Olivier Jankovec, Director General of ACI EUROPE commented For Europes airports, this is by
far the best first half-year traffic performance in more than 10 years. And this comes on top of
significant growth - passenger volumes have expanded by close to 30% since 2012.
This kind of growth has clearly outstripped the most optimistic forecasts something that should be
borne in mind by anyone who doubts the looming airport capacity crunch facing Europe.
He added The outlook is very positive for the rest of the year with the economy especially in the
Eurozone - expected to maintain its growth trajectory and oil prices set to remain contained. Of
course, this is assuming there are no new geopolitical upsets. Having said that, Brexit remains the
number one worry for many airport CEOs given the continued uncertainty surrounding negotiations.
The countdown to March 2019 keeps ticking and if no progress is achieved in the coming months, we
are likely to see negative impacts on aviation kick in already next year.
Freight traffic across the European airport network improved markedly during H1 at +8.7% - also
reflecting improved economic conditions not just in Europe but globally. This is the best first half-year
performance since 2010. Aircraft movements were up +3.7%, with airlines deploying significant
capacity into the market.
During H1, 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 +6.0%, +12.3%, +10.8% and +9.9%.
The airports that reported the highest increases in passenger traffic are as follows:
During the month of June, average passenger growth was +10.1%. Freight reported an exceptional
increase of +8.8% and movements were up +4.6%.
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 +6.3%, +14.4%, +10.7% and +13.1%.
For June, the airports which reported the highest increases in passenger traffic are as follows:
The 'ACI EUROPE Airport Traffic Report June, Q2 & H1 2017 includes 252 airports in total
representing more than 88% of European air passenger traffic.
