Looking at Q1 2024, passenger numbers at the top 40 European airports have reached 276 million, a 10 per cent increase on Q1 2023 to hit 99 per cent of pre-pandemic levels.

Network arrival punctuality also has increased week-on-week from 75 to 77 per cent (in week 17) despite the fact the week featured a day of industrial action that pushed air traffic flow management delays for the seven days as a whole up 33 per cent compared to week 16.
