Rome Fiumicino exceeds 4 million passengers for the third consecutive month;

Fiumicino’s ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ airport recorded traffic in excess of 4 million passengers for the third consecutive month, reaching a recovery on 2019 of 97%, the highest value since 2020.

Europe continues its growth trend, exceeding 2019 traffic levels by 9%, thanks in part to new starts to Memmingen and Madeira this month.
In terms of intercontinental traffic, North America remained in the lead with +16% growth compared to September 2019 figures, thanks to the contribution of the New York, Dallas, Boston and Washington routes.
This is followed by the Arabian Peninsula, which achieves +9% growth compared to 2019, supported by good performances on the routes to Doha, Jeddah, Kuwait and Riyahd. For the Middle East, the route to Amman performed well, growing by 7%.
Africa also performed well, improving its traffic recovery on pre-Covid values mainly due to the success of the short-haul destinations of Cairo and Sharm El Sheik, which achieved +10% and +81% growth respectively.
Central South America showed an increase in recovery from 71% in August to 76% in September, with Buenos Aires achieving a full recovery of pre-pandemic traffic.
