February 2020 Traffic Results: 9.3% Rise in Passenger Volume for the Flughafen Wien Group, 8.3% Increase at Vienna Airport. Since beginning of March, however, massive Decrease in Passenger  Numbers in Vienna due to Coronavirus
 
In February 2020, the impact of the coronavirus was still limited:  The total number of passengers handled by the Flughafen Wien Group (Vienna Airport, Malta Airport and Kosice Airport) rose by 9.3% year-on-year to 2.5 million travellers. Vienna Airport registered an increase in its passenger volume of 8.3% to 2.0 million travellers in the second month of the year.
 
Since the impact of the coronavirus in Europe has grown larger, passenger figures have decreased significantly: The March figures already show a massive decrease of roughly 30% at Vienna Airport compared to the previous year, with a continuing downward tendency.
 
February 2020 at Vienna Airport: 8.3% passenger growth 
The number of passengers handled by Vienna Airport in February 2020 was up by 8.3% compared to the prior-year month (which was one day shorter) to 2,017,461 travellers. The number of local passengers increased by 8.3% and transfer passenger volume rose by 9.8%. The number of flight movements in February 2020 climbed by 7.9% year-on-year. Cargo volume at Vienna Airport grew by 3.0% compared to the level of February 2019.
 
The total number of passengers at Vienna Airport flying to destinations in Western Europe climbed by 8.0% in February 2020, whereas passenger traffic to Eastern Europe rose by 10.6%. The number of passengers travelling to destinations in North America and Africa also developed positively, rising by 11.4% and 29.7% respectively. In February 2020, the number of passengers travelling to the Middle East was up by 15.7% from the prior-year month. Passenger volumes to the Far East were down by 10.1%, due to the impact of the coronavirus on China and the ensuing decrease in travel demand and cancellation of flights to this region.
 
Malta Airport reported an increase in passenger volume of 17.3% in the month of February 2020, whereas Kosice Airport registered a decline of 25.6% in the same period.
