According to a statement from a spokesperson for Eindhoven Airport to Omroep Brabant, the number of passengers traveling to and from Eindhoven Airport in 2023 is at an all-time high. "People love to travel," the spokesman said.
Eindhoven Airport has higher passenger numbers than before COVID-19.
The number of passengers using Eindhoven Airport in 2023 is recorded to be higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic. Around 6.8 million passengers used Eindhoven Airport in 2023, up from 6.3 million in the previous year.
In 2019, 6.7 million passengers travelled to and from Eindhoven Airport, making 2023 the first year of airport passenger traffic growth since the pandemic affected air travel for two years. Last year, the airport had a total of 41,496 flights taking off, landing or arriving, with the busiest day being September 15, 2023, with nearly 25,000 passengers using the airport in a single day.
Eindhoven is only 4 flights short of the maximum number of flights allowed.
In 2024, the airport's operations will be only four flights less than the maximum number of flights allowed at the airport. In 2026 and 2027, this limit will be further reduced to 40,500 flights to reduce air and noise pollution.
By comparison, Schiphol, the most popular airport in the Netherlands, had more than 71.7 million passengers arriving and departing before the pandemic hit in 2019. In 2022, that number dropped to 52.5 million, but the figure for 2023 is expected to exceed that number.
