airlines have seen their European passenger traffic explode in 2024, with 2.5 billion passengers moving through the industry, up 7.4% from 2023 and surpassing 1.8% above pre-COVID levels, according to Airports Council International (ACI) Europe. This growth, driven by international demand — which contributed an 8.8% increase — largely outpaced domestic sector performance, which only grew 2.5% year-over-year.

The surge was attributed to mixed signs of market dynamics: global access and increased connectivity from the Single Market, as well as strong demand from emerging markets like Ukraine and Russia. Despite these factors, structural changes — such as a partial shift to rail services and regional congestion — have contributed to the widening gap between.axis cities and smaller European airports. For instance, Reading, London, andrieti, analyzed traffic, highlighted that while packages remain the largest hubs in the EU, smaller airports lagged behind with traffic at 34.5% below their pre-COVID levels.

persisting challenges remain, though. Jankovec emphasized that challenges like “ill-advised aviation policies” will be a key driver of 2025 growth, as policymakers over-encumbering air travel on economic uncertainty has国内市场razione. He also noted that airlines struggle with fleet management, with their flights descaled and ungrounded, and air traffic management capacity shortages, leading to delays and missed connections. These problems persist even as demand for air travel continues to climb beyond pre-COVID levels.

According to Jankovec, the United Kingdom, a major hub, is expected to report strong growth in 2025, followed by a balanced government intervention in 2026. However, the global political and economic uncertainties will continue to heighten the pressure, making the recovery in 2025 ultimately uncertain. While the focus remains on regulatory reforms and market efficiency, the broader challenges of COVID-19 recovery and geopolitical uncertainties pose significant barriers to sustained growth in Europe’s air transport sector.
