The strikes <\/a>influenced air traffic trends in France in the first quarter<\/strong>. Admittedly, the latter remains positive, with travel demand extremely strong. Nevertheless, it has lost some of its vigour compared with the initial trajectory in the forecasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to ADP Group<\/a>Traffic at the two Paris hubs, Roissy CDG and Orly, will increase by 44.6% between the 1st quarter of 2022 and 2023.<\/strong>. Both airports welcomed a total traffic of 21.04 million passengers<\/strong>or 88.7% of 2019 traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nevertheless, A\u00e9roports de Paris points out that this traffic would have been in up 47.8 % excluding strikes<\/strong>representing 90.7 % of 2019 traffic. As a result of the repeated strikes, the two Paris airports have lost some 470,000 passengers<\/strong>390,000 in March alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CDG handled 14.3 million passengers, or 86.9 % of 2019 traffic. Orly recorded 6.7 million passengers, or 92.8 % of 2019 traffic. In March alone, the capital's two hubs recorded increased by<\/strong> 24.3 %, to<\/strong> 7.4 million passengers<\/strong>. But this traffic would have been +30.9 %, adjusted for the effect of strikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the DGAC has not yet published its first-quarter traffic report on passenger numbers in France, it does note that a fall in air movements in March at Orly, Bordeaux and Toulouse airports<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three airports were particularly hard hit by the social movements<\/a>. The total number of movements fell by 4.26% at Orly, 4% at Bordeaux and even 5% at Toulouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
