Strong air travel numbers across Europe in July Passenger traffic across Europe during July grew by 6.7 per cent according to the Airport Council International ACI-Europe.
The strongest growth was in Slovenia, Ireland, Hungary, Romania and Luxembourg, with double-digit growth. Dublin had growth of 16.9 per cent.
Aircraft movements were up by 2.6 per cent, though freight traffic was tepid at 0.5 per cent. Non-EU airport traffic rebounded after several months of weak growth.
The International Air Transport Association in its July report said: “Following a strong summer the outlook heading into autumn is unsettled, to say the least. While passenger demand remains healthy, international air cargo growth turned negative in July.
"The downward movement in stock markets around the globe reflects investors' growing concerns about slowing trade and economic growth in emerging economies, as well as China's continued shift towards domestic markets."
