Paris Airports: Traffic Declines by 4.9% in April, Middle East Weighs
Paris Airports released its April 2026 traffic report on Monday, showing a 4.9% decrease for the group and a 1.3% drop for Paris Airport. The operator attributes this decline to geopolitical instability in the Middle East and adjustments to flight schedules.
Paris Airports Group recorded 29.1 million passengers in April 2026, down by 4.9% year-on-year. Paris Airport, which includes Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, welcomed 9.2 million passengers, a decrease of 1.3%. According to the statement, the geopolitical instability in the Middle East affected traffic through adjustments in flight programs and restrictions on access to certain airspaces. Additionally, several airports in the portfolio experienced disruptions related to religious holidays and scheduled flight reductions independent of the geopolitical situation.
