Europe July traffic above expectations

Air traffic in European airspace exceeded air safety organisation Eurocontrol's "optimistic" predictions in July, as demand takes off this summer. Eurocontrol data show that flights reached 65% of 2019 levels last month, compared with May flight traffic trailing pre-Covid levels by 61%. The July numbers are slightly up on Eurocontrol's predictions made in early summer, when it proposed three scenarios. The most optimistic option planned for widespread vaccination take-up, easing travel restrictions and resumption of long haul flights. Eurocontrol predicted that flight numbers would reach 64% of pre-pandemic July levels should these conditions be met. Its baseline forecast was 52%, and its worst-case scenario saw July flight traffic reach just 46% of July 2019 levels. In order to exceed the organisation's optimistic scenario for August, flights would need to be at 69pc of 2019 levels. This looks likely to be met, if not surpassed, as flight traffic reached 68.3pc of pre-Covid levels in the last week of July, at 23.899 per day. Low cost carrier Ryanair was the busiest of the main European air carriers, with an average of 2.175 flights per day in July. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) last week bemoaned the slow start to air travel recovery in June, and its Director General Willie Walsh expressed concerns that the chance of a significant revival in international air traffic this summer is growing "fainter" by the day.

Sarajevo Airport handles under 250.000 passengers

NEWS FLASH

Sarajevo Airport ended 2020 by handling 249.642 travellers, representing a decrease of 78.2% on the previous year. December was the slowest month since the airport was reopened for commercial traffic in June, with 13.367 passengers welcomed during the last month of the year. “It is important to note that Sarajevo Airport is constantly working on both attracting new airlines and the resumption of existing services. We are adjusting to the requirements made by airlines and creating preconditions for the larger-scale resumption of traffic. Airports live off passenger traffic, freight and other related actives and our recovery mostly depends on the normalisation of travel and the easing of epidemiological restrictions”, Sarajevo Airport’s General Manager, Alan Bajić, told EX-YU Aviation News.
