  AIR TRANSPORT IN THE EU25 AIR PASSENGER TRANSPORT UP BY 8.5% IN 2005 LONDON/HEATHROW PROCESSES MOST PASSENGERS; FRANKFURT HANDLES MOST FREIGHT

 
   
  Bruxelles, 22 gennaio 2007 - In 2005, the total number of passengers1 transported by air in the Eu25 rose by 8. 5% compared to 2004, to more than 700 million. Passenger numbers rose by 8. 8% in 2004 and by 4. 9% in 20032. Of these passengers, 23% were carried on national flights, 42% on intra-Eu25 flights and 35% on extra-Eu25 flights. London/heathrow remained the Eu’s busiest airport in terms of passengers, handling 68 million in 2005 - nearly 10% of all air passengers in the Eu25 - and up 1% compared to 2004. Paris/charles de Gaulle (53 million passengers, +5%) and Frankfurt (52 million, +2%) were the second and third busiest airports, followed by Amsterdam/schipol (44 million, +4%) and Madrid/barajas (42 million, +9%). Passenger numbers rose in almost all Member States in 2005 compared to 2004. Five Member States recorded growth of 25% or more, the highest being Latvia (+77%), followed by Slovakia (+46%), Lithuania (+44%), Estonia (+41%) and Hungary (+25%). The highest numbers of passengers were registered in the United Kingdom (204 million, +6% compared to 2004), Germany (146 million, +8%), Spain (144 million, +11%), France (108 million, +5%) and Italy (88 million, +8%). These figures and more are published in a recent report3 from Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities, on air transport in the Eu, Candidate countries and Iceland, Norway and Switzerland in 2005. This wide-ranging report also looks in detail at national, intra-Eu and international air transport passengers and freight, as well as the most important airport pairs, nationally and internationally. Air freight transport up 3. 5% in 2005 - In 2005, air freight in the Eu25 rose by 3. 5% compared to 2004, to almost 11 million tonnes, 80% of which was with non-Eu25 countries. Freight volumes rose by 9. 6% in 20042. The main partners were North America, down 2% compared to 2004, and representing 30% of freight traffic with non-Eu25 countries, the Far East (+7%, 28% of this traffic) and the Near and Middle East (+4%, 14% of this traffic). German and British airports handled around half of all Eu25 air freight. Frankfurt (2. 0 million tonnes, +7% compared to 2004) was in 2005 the Eu’s leading airport for air freight, followed by Amsterdam/schipol (1. 5 million, +2%), London/heathrow (1. 4 million, -2%) and Paris/charles de Gaulle (1. 2 million, -5%). Together, they handled 55% of all Eu25 air freight. A second group, Brussels/national, Cologne/bonn, and Luxembourg, each handling between 0. 6 and 0. 7 million tonnes, accounted for another 18%.
