The most significant increases were registered in some of the new Member States, Slovakia (+25.9%), the Czech Republic (+18.0%), Estonia (+17.8%) and Lithuania (+13.6%), while the largest falls were observed in Sweden (-7.3%) and Luxembourg (-3.7%). The largest countries record the highest number of air passengers. In 2003, the United Kingdom registered 178 million passengers, followed by Germany (121 mn), Spain (120 mn), France (96 mn) and Italy (74 mn). Among these countries, the number of air passengers increased the most in 2003 in Italy (+13.3%), followed by Spain (+7.1%), Germany (+5.9%), and the United Kingdom (+5.5%), while it decreased in France (-0.2%). London/heathrow (United Kingdom) remained the busiest airport in the Eu25 in 2003, followed by Frankfurt/main (Germany) and Paris/charles-de-gaulle (France). This information comes from a report2 released by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, on air transport passengers in the Eu25. Additional information for Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey as well as Norway, Switzerland and Iceland is also provided. 3 out of 4 passengers on an international flight When looking at the breakdown between national and international transport, in 2003 three quarters of the total number of passengers in the Eu25 were carried on international flights. The United Kingdom, with 154 million passengers, led the international air transport market in 2003, followed by Germany (100 mn) and Spain (89 mn). The most important country-to-country relations were Spain-united Kingdom with 32 million passengers, Germany-spain with 18 million, and France-united Kingdom with 10 million. International passengers showed the same upwards trend as total air transport, and most Member States recorded an increase between 2002 and 2003. Rises ranged from +0.4% in Malta and +1.4% in France to +27.7% in Slovakia and +18.2% in the Czech Republic. Decreases were only recorded in Sweden (-7.0%), Luxembourg (-3.7%), the Netherlands (-1.6%) and Denmark (-1.5%). Spain, with 31 million passengers, recorded the highest number of national passengers, followed by France (27 mn), Italy and the United Kingdom (both 24 mn) and Germany (21 mn). Due to their size, these five countries accounted for 86% of the Eu25 national transport market.
