Flughafen Wien: Development of traffic in July 2013: minus 1.3% in passengers, plus 7.7% in cargo

The number of passengers handled by Vienna Airport in July 2013 declined 1.3% year-on-year to 2,165,015. This development resulted, above all, from capacity reductions by the airlines, for example through the re-fitting of the Austrian Airlines Group long-haul fleet.

Declines were recorded in the number of flight movements with minus 4.2% and maximum take-off weight with minus 0.7%. Cargo traffic rose by 7.7%. The number of transfer passengers using Vienna Airport in July 2013 was 1.5% lower than in July 2012. The number of local passengers declined 1.1% during this same period.

Passenger traffic to Eastern Europe was 2.1% lower than in July of the previous year. The number of passengers travelling to Western Europe increased 1.1%, while the Middle East recorded a decline of 15.7% in July 2013.
