Brussels Airport: monthly figures 2009

[RoMax]

Just found an article with more exact numbers.

Nearly all segments including intra-European business traffic, leisure traffic and even low cost (bankruptcy of Sterling, Sky Europe and MyAir) lost between 8 and 10%. On average over the year long-haul traffic declined by 0.8% but showed a positive growth of 3.7% in the second half of the year.
In December the airport welcomed 1,136,000 passengers; 1.1% down on pcp. The persistent snowfall in the last two weeks of December thoroughly disturbed air traffic. Nevertheless December showed the best year-on-year growth rate in 2009. Without the negative impact of the winter weather December would have been the first month with a positive growth, estimated at 0.8%.

In 2009 Brucargo handled a total of 450,000 tonnes of cargo: a decrease by 32.1% on 2008. Integrator cargo volumes suffered badly from DHL’s move to Leipzig, whereas all-cargo traffic declined following the demise of Cargo B and the decline of imports and exports as a result of the crisis. Even cargo carried on passenger aircraft showed negative growth in spite of the fact that it recovered well in the second half of the year.
With 38,500 tonnes handled in December overall growth upped to -10.6% compared to 2008, driven mainly by the cargo volumes carried on passenger aircraft which grew by a spectacular 46%.

And here are the last figures of 2009!

DECEMBER

PAX

In December, Brussels Airport welcomed 1.136.000 pax or a small decrease with -1,1% when we compare this with the same month last year. We have to say that there were also severe wether conditions at the end of December.

Intra-EU was still weak due to Brussels Airlines, but they can show better figures, and other full service carriers. Charters were more less then last year. Low cost was strong due to the continued growth of Easyjet.

Extra-EU was again very strong and this was driven due to Jet Airways and Etihad.

Intra-EU: 697.000 pax -4,4%
Extra-EU: 439.000 pax: +4,5%



Pax year to year:

In 2009, Brussels Airport welcomed 17.000.000 pax or a decrease with -8,2% when we compare this with the same month of last year.


In a few days the exact figures about cargo and movements.

And "De tijd" said that there is a new freigther costumer on his way for this year! Has someone any idea about that cargo company that will start BRU operations?

Yes we know which cargo airline it is, when they will come and who the handler will be.

I suppose you can't say wich airline it will be, but can you say if it will be a big one? And maybe the continent/country where the company is based?

They should have announced it one month ago already ... I guess you'll not have to wait long ...

[RoMax]

Well, SN and Jet are the most important carriers for freigth on their pax airplanes, so it seems that they are doing well on the freighter aspect. +46% is not bad

[Filou]

Pleae consider changes in aircraft (A330 or B777in case of 9W for example), as well as additional aircraft or additional carriers as very important and directly visible in the figures !
