TOSCANA AEROPORTI S.P.A. (Alliance News) - Toscana Aeroporti Spa reported Friday that 482,000 passengers transited between the Pisa and Florence airports in November alone.
Compared to the same period in 2022, the increase is 12 percent, with growth for both the Florence airport and "Galileo Galilei."
From January to date, 7.7 million passengers have passed through Tuscany's airports, up 23 percent compared to 2022, basically in line with the pre-Covid period, down just 0.6 percent compared to 2019. This is the third best result ever, following a boom in 2018 and 2019.
In the 11 months, Toscana Aeroporti operated a network of 95 destinations, including 12 new routes - Hamburg, Amman, Belgrade, Bilbao, Dusseldorf, Glasgow PIK, Kos, Lyon, Marseille, Oslo TRF, Porto, Toulouse - and, specifically, these are 83 international and 12 domestic routes, operated by 35 airlines.
The increase in traffic and the launch of new routes with some airlines also led to growth in movements, which in November stood at 4,889, up 12 percent from the same month in 2022. In the first 11 months, the percentage change over 2022 was positive by 13 percent while it was down slightly on 2019, by 1.1 percent.
"The traffic results for the first 11 months of the Florence and Pisa airports are particularly satisfying because they allow us to return to the pre-Covid traffic level that represented a record year for the two airports," said Toscana Aeroporti President Marco Carrai.
"The return to sustained traffic at both airports testifies to the validity of the strategic choices made in these difficult years and the strategic nature of the Tuscan airport system in which the two airports can grow synergistically with distinct but equally indispensable vocations for traffic development, which translates into development of the territory and its value both nationally and internationally."
Toscana Aeroporti's stock closed up 0.9 percent at EUR11.00 per share.
