The Flughafen Wien Group showed a positive development of passenger traffic in the first month of 2026. Total passenger volume in the entire Group (Vienna Airport, Malta Airport and Kosice Airport) rose 5.0% year-on-year to 2,557,185 travellers. The number of passengers handled by Vienna Airport climbed 1.1% to 1,910,186 in the month of January 2026. Passenger volume at Malta Airport showed a rise of 17.2% to 594,889 travellers. Kosice Airport handled a total of 52,110 passengers, which represents a strong increase of 34.7% from the prior-year month.
 
The number of local passengers at Vienna Airport fell slightly by 0.5% compared to January 2025 to 1,534,396 travellers and the number of transfer passengers to 331,854 (-2.5%).
