GLG Network Survey Tracker: European Airports Outlook

SURVEY DETAILS

TARGET POPULATION

For this Network Survey, GLG surveyed 50 senior executives working within European airports across the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

What will you learn from this survey?

• Respondents commented on projections of passenger volumes for the coming years and how these have changed over time.
• The research assessed the main factors that can accelerate or slow down the recovery of the industry and captured experts’ insights on airlines’ flight volume projections for the next 12 months.
• Lastly, the research gathered the experts’ views on the countries that have recovered from the impacts of COVID-19, in terms of both passenger volumes and dependence due to geographic location.

Example of findings:

• Half of the experts (54%) agreed that the food and beverage business has already returned to pre-COVID-19 levels.
• Over seven-in-ten (74%) respondents believe that global congestion is perceived as the main factor responsible for slowing the recovery of the aviation industry.
• 34% of respondents agreed that projected passenger volumes for 2024 fall within the range of 10 to 19.99 million.
