Brussels – Nel blu dipinto di blu, felice di stare lass\u00f9 — <\/em>it’s not just\u00a0a song, but the reality of Roma\/Fiumicino, the airport in Europe with the highest increase in passenger numbers\u00a0in 2023<\/strong>, a year that saw an overall rise\u00a0in air travel across the EU. Compared to a year earlier, the total number of passengers traveling by air within the territory of the European Union was 973 million, an increase of 19.3 percent over 2022 (816 million). In this renewed pleasure of flying, Rome proves to be\u00a0the capital of the air.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Rome Fiumicino<\/strong>, Eurostat notes in\u00a0data released today<\/a> (Dec. 6), is sixth\u00a0among the top ten European hubs for number of people who transited through the airport. However, it recorded the highest increase among the top ten largest airports (+38.2 percent)<\/strong>. The increase was virtually double the European average, showing a new centrality of an airport that has grown in traffic like no other. Rome did better than Paris, Frankfurt, Madrid, Amsterdam, and the other big cities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The figures refer to a period\u00a0before the approval of the merger between Ita and Lufthansa. The ‘yes’ to the operation, even though conditional, came only in July this year<\/a>, and so it will be interesting to see if the deal can allow the airport of the Italian capital\u00a0to grow further in terms of passenger movements, given the size of the two airlines and their presence at Fiumicino.<\/p>\n

The European Statistical Institute captures a\u00a0situation with two sides to it. While passenger traffic increased between 2022 and 2023, commercial traffic fell. In the same reporting period, total air cargo and mail transport in the EU decreased by 5.2 percent.
