Passenger traffic and GDP at EU level

Passenger traffic increased, at a lower rate than 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).
Since 2021, this intensity grew by 5%/year until 2023, implying that passenger traffic recovered at a faster than pace than GDP. However, passenger transport intensity remained in 2023 under its pre-covid level (-7%).
Passenger traffic fell, much more than GDP in 2020, because of travel restrictions linked to the Covid pandemic.
