Getlink: Truck Traffic Down 2% in May, Tourism Up 4%
Getlink releases its monthly traffic figures: truck decline remains contained in May, while passenger traffic picks up, though not offsetting the cumulative declines over the first five months.
LeShuttle Freight transported 95,641 trucks in May, down 2% compared to May 2025. Over the first five months of 2026, the total stands at 487,225 trucks, also down 2% compared to the same period in 2025. This slight decrease occurs in a context where the European road courier segment continues to face trade pressures and post-Brexit regulatory uncertainties. The relative stability of this decline (identical in May and on an annual cumulative basis) suggests that tensions are not worsening, but the expected recovery is slow to materialize.

The passenger segment shows a reverse dynamic. LeShuttle transported 203,872 private vehicles in May, up 4% compared to May 2025. Over the first five months, the total reached 756,141 vehicles, a decline of 2% compared to 2025. This monthly recovery contrasts with the 10% drop recorded in April, which was due to the shifting of British school holidays. The rebound in May indicates a return to normal for tourist flows and cross-border mobility. This evolution suggests a return to regular seasonality after a calendar disruption, supported by a preserved demand for mobility despite the economic environment.
