According to <strong>DGAC<\/strong>Air transport growth was underpinned by growth on international routes, up 6.7% over the first half. The <strong>international traffic<\/strong> continues to account for the bulk of the country's air traffic: with 61.5 million passengers carried in the first half of the year, it passed the sixty million mark for the first time. The international market share was 80%. L'<strong>European Union<\/strong> alone generates 35.6 million passengers, giving it a market share of 47.3%. It is in fact <strong>the most dynamic market segment, along with Africa<\/strong>up 6.8%.<\/p>\n<p>The latter continent is driven by a <strong>Improved traffic to Tunisia and Morocco<\/strong>. Air transport to and from these two markets rose by 14.5% and 10.7% respectively. In Europe, the <strong>Russia<\/strong> saw remarkable growth of 17.6%, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/londres-destination-business-20170510.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>United Kingdom<\/strong> <\/a>of 7.5% and Germany of 6.3%. The <strong>Turkey<\/strong> continues to mark time, with a fall of 6%.<\/p>\n<p>The upturn in <strong>domestic market<\/strong> has continued since the start of the year.

However, June saw a slight increase for the French flag.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at airport results over the first half of the year, the best performances were achieved by the \"Atlantic axis\" airports.

With this rate of growth, passenger traffic at Toulouse should exceed that of Bordeaux for the first time. <strong>Marseille<\/strong> over the year as a whole. Elsewhere in France, <strong>Lyon<\/strong> continues to post excellent results, with traffic up 8.1%, while <strong>Roissy<\/strong> is picking up again, with passenger numbers up by 5.2% between January and June.
