Passenger traffic and GDP at EU level

  • Passenger traffic increased, at a lower rate compared to the GDP on average at EU level from 2000 to 2019, as shown by the 0.6%/year decrease of the passenger transport intensity (pkm/GDP).
  • It fell, much more than GDP in 2020, because of travel restrictions linked to the Covid pandemic, and remained almost stable in 2021 (i.e. because it recovered at the same pace compared to GDP)
