VINCI Airports – Traffic at 31 March 2022
*PRESS RELEASE *
Nanterre, 14 April 2022
*VINCI Airports – T**ra**f**fic* *at* *31 **March **2022*
· *Passenger traffic in Q1 2022 increased **threefold **compared to Q1 **2021, **to 46.1**%** below its 2019 level** (40.8% below in March)*
· *Traffic was hampered **in January **by the resurgence of the **epidemic **due to the **Omicron** variant**, then climbed back **progressively and steadily **in **February and March **as restrictions were relaxed in several countries**, notably **in **the United Kingdom *
In the paragraphs below, unless otherwise indicated, variations refer to traffic levels in Q1 2022 compared to the same period in 2019.
*More than* *30 million **passengers **travelled through **VINCI **Airports’ **network in Q1 **2022**, **i.e.** three times more than in Q1 **2021** (**and **4**6.1**% **less than in **2019).* In January, the resurgence of the epidemic due to the Omicron variant and the resulting decision to keep travel restrictions in place slowed down the upturn seen in Q4 2021. In February and March, growth in traffic resumed as the epidemic ebbed to some extent, restrictions were eased in several countries and winter breaks came around. At the end of March, traffic in VINCI Airports’ network had not been disrupted by the war in Ukraine, as activity in the Russian and Ukrainian markets and flights in the countries’ airspace have traditionally been marginal.
*The overall trend is still converging towards pre-crisis levels, but the stages in the recovery **still **vary substantially from one region to another. *
*Traffic at the airports in the Americas remains buoyant and near its 2019 levels**. *The shortfalls in traffic in Q1 2022 compared to 2019 in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica are due to a few unfavourable weather events. In *B**razil*, traffic at the airports in Amazonia, which VINCI took over this quarter, stood above its pre-pandemic levels. Traffic at Salvador Bahia airport benefited from Azul’s and Gol’s one-off capacity increases.
*The increase in traffic –* *particular**ly** international traffic – at European airports **results **from the easing of pandemic-related restrictions in several countries. *In* Portugal*, traffic shrank in January then rose briskly to near its 2019 level by the end of the quarter. Lisbon, Porto and Faro attracted a large number of passengers from France during the February break. This trend is expected to continue into the summer as several airlines (Air Canada, Emirates, United, LATAM, easyJet, Transavia, Eurowings, Swiss) have announced plans to increase capacity on international flights. The UK’s decision to lift restrictions starting on 11 February spurred an increase in traffic at *Lond**on **Gatwick**, *which picked up following the announcement both on domestic flights (down 29% in February and March) and international flights (Portugal down 30%, France down 47%, Switzerland down 39%). A symbol of this positive momentum, the South Terminal reopened on 27 March and several airlines restarted flights or started up new ones during the quarter (Wizz Air, Emirates, Scoot, Icelandair, easyJet). British Airways began operating its subsidiary BA Euroflyer (30 new routes) in early April. This summer, Wizz Air will add four aircraft to its base to provide 18 new services, over and above the new flights planned by easyJet, Vueling, Ryanair, Air Malta and TUI. In *France*, the reopening of ski resorts enabled traffic to recover at Lyon Saint-Exupéry, Grenoble and Chambéry airports, and now at Annecy (light aircraft). In *Nantes,* some international services contributed significantly to growth in traffic (Portugal down 18%, Spain down 13%).
*Airports in Asia are still severely affected by the border closures **or* *remaining restrictions in this region.* In *Jap**a**n**,* domestic traffic at Kansai Airports increased over the quarter (from a 70% drop at the end of January to a 24% decline by the end of the quarter) as the epidemic waned.
*The decisions to ease restrictions in several countries spurred flight bookings for the** spring and** summer**.* Airline capacity forecasts suggest that the figures this summer may be close to their 2019 levels and in some cases higher – for example in Porto, Toulon and Santo Domingo. *These trends underpin the recovery momentum for the rest of the year. *
