Vienna Airport in April 2016: Passenger decrease of 3.4%, strong growth in Malta (+5.7%) and Kosice (+33.5%), gratifying increase in cargo volume (+8.9%)
The number of passengers handled by Vienna Airport in April 2016 fell by 3.4% from the previous year to 1,850,605 passengers. The main reasons were the Easter flight traffic, in march this year compared to April of 2015, capacity reductions on the part of the airlines, the consequences of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, the crisis situations in Russia and the Middle East, along with a general restraint in bookings and capacity reductions to vacation destinations such as Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia and Greece. For this reason, the number of transfer passengers and local passengers fell by 7.8% and 1.7% respectively in April 2016. The number of flight movements dropped by 1.8% in April 2016 from the prior-year figure. In contrast, cargo volume rose strongly by 8.9% in April 2016 in a year-on-year comparison. Malta Airport (+5.7%) and Kosice Airport (+33.5%) both generated strong growth in passenger volume.
At Vienna Airport the passenger volume to Western Europe remained stable in April 2016 at -0.2%. Eastern Europe showed a drop of 4.4% in contrast to the 1.3% rise to Far Eastern destinations. The crisis-related decrease to the Middle East amounted to 6.4%. The number of passengers flying to North America was down 9.4% in April 2016, and passenger traffic to Africa fell by 35.1%.
