Zurich Airport sees record passenger growth but lower seat occupancy and punctuality in September

In September, Vienna Airport’s Schwechat location experienced a reduction in passenger traffic, which the operator linked to a diminished low-cost schedule and route suspensions related to the Middle East crisis. Across the entire Vienna Airport Group, total passenger movements edged down modestly, even as cargo handling increased by nearly ten percent. The decline was most pronounced among local travelers and transfer passengers, while flight movements fell by over six percent.

Conversely, the group’s overseas assets reported growth, with Malta seeing a double-digit rise and Kosice achieving a substantial increase in passenger counts. Year-to-date figures show a slight overall dip in the group’s traffic compared with the same period last year.
