Passenger traffic figures
In December 2007, Aeroports de Paris handled 6.7 million
passengers, an increase of 3.7% on December 2006. Paris-Charles de
Gaulle airport recorded a gain of 5.4% to 4.6 million passengers and
Paris-Orly airport was up by 0.2% to 2.1 million passengers.
For the full year 2007, Aeroports de Paris handled, once more, a
record number of 86.4 million passengers. As in 2006, passenger
traffic remained robust with a 4.7% growth over twelve months. It
represents a 5.4% increase for Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport to
nearly 60 million passengers and a 3.2% increase for Paris-Orly
airport to 26.4 million passengers. The different labour disputes in
the air transport sector impacted the 2007 traffic growth by an
estimated 25 basis point (two thirds of which being linked to the
events of October and one third to those of December).
These results place Aeroports de Paris for the 4th consecutive
year ahead of the three main European airports in terms of growth.
December traffic figures are attributable to the increase in
traffic on European and international routes.
Domestic traffic fell by 7% due notably to labour disputes in the
air transport sector and Eastern high speed train (TGV Est). European
traffic grew by 4.7% thanks to Schengen traffic (6.8%). Traffic
increased by 1.6% on routes to and from the twelve(1) new European
Union members. The British and Irish markets decreased slightly by
0.6%.
Traffic on the other international routes was up 9.2 %. The North
and Latin American markets rose by 7.5%. The African market recorded a
strong increase of 11.7%. An 8.9% increase was recorded on routes to
and from Asia and the Middle East.
