The half-yearly results published by the Vinci Airports group for its entire network can be summarised in a single line: a year-on-year change of 0.0 %, with 159.25 million passengers between January and June. However, this average masks very different trends across different parts of the network, which comprises more than 70 airports in 14 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second quarter alone, passenger traffic fell by 1.3 % to 85.1 million passengers, whilst commercial movements fell by 2.2 % \u2013 a sharper decline than that in passenger numbers, suggesting a slight increase in average aircraft load factor. Vinci Airports attributes this quarterly decline to tensions in the Middle East<\/a> and between China and Japan, as well as the rise in fuel which weighed on Chile and Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n

Other, significantly sharper declines are worth noting: in the United States, airports operated under management contracts (Hollywood Burbank, Atlantic City) recorded a 9.2 % fall in passenger traffic over the half-year, and a 20 % fall in commercial movements. In Cambodia, the decline reached 7.7 % in passenger numbers over the half-year, with a fall of 15 % in the second quarter alone and 8.8 % in commercial movements over the same period. Japan, for its part, saw a 5.6 % decline over the half-year via the Kansai hub, largely due to Sino-Japanese tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
