Earnings Release • Jul 6, 2021

BOLOGNA AIRPORT: 327 THOUSAND PASSENGERS IN JUNE The progressive widening of the vaccine campaign and European Countries' reopenings are starting to have visible effects on passenger traffic

Though traffic data are still far from pre-Covid records, Summer has come to Bologna Airport as well. In June 327,244 total passengers were recorded: this figure is not comparable with June 2020 (when slightly over 35 thousand passengers were recorded), but it does account for a sign of partial recovery though still far from 2019 records (decrease of -62.1%).

Recovery signs are currently more evident on domestic traffic. In detail, in June 2021 domestic passengers were 155,267 (-12.4% on June 2019), while international passengers were 171,977 (-75.0% on June 2019). Flight movements were 3,156 (- 51.7%), while air freight amounted to 3,238 tons, an increase of 5.6% on June 2019.

This is the ranking of June's most popular destinations: Catania, Palermo, Brindisi, Olbia, Bari, Tirana, Barcelona, Madrid, Cagliari and Bucharest.

In the first half of the year, total passengers were 770,396, a decrease of 82.7% on the first quarters in 2019, with 9,150 movements (-74.1%) and 18,444 tons of air freight (- 5.2%).

During 2021, traffic data showed a slow but progressive growing trend, mainly supported by the widening of the vaccine campaign and consequent re-openings, both domestic and European – from 80 thousand passengers travelling through Bologna Airport in January, to 140 thousand registered in May to reach 327 thousand passengers in June.

The difference with pre-pandemic records is still remarkable, but the vaccine campaign being strengthened and European Greenpass being introduced from 1 st July, a further traffic recovery is very likely to be triggered in the next few months.
