In 2023, French airport platforms will see 198.7 million travelers pass through. Low-cost airlines welcomed 113.8% of their 2019 passenger volume last year, and traditional airlines only 80.8%.
Attendance at specialized airports has jumped, with for example 41.6% growth for Beauvais (Oise), Ryanair base, and 26.5% at Tarbes-Lourdes Pyrénées. Breton airports (Brest, -34.4%, Rennes, -30.2%), Strasbourg (-21.8%) and Toulouse-Blagnac (-18.9%) are suffering the competition from rail.
