Aug 19, 2019 (newstodate): Only two out of five Nordic capital airports recorded a rise in passenger volumes during the July 2019 peak month.
The exceptions were Finland's Helsinki Airport and Norway's Oslo Airport, while both Sweden's Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Denmark's Copenhagen Airport and Iceland's Keflavik Airport saw a decline in volumes.
Taking the lead as to growth, Helsinki Airport thus saw its passenger volumes up by 5.7 percent, y-o-y, to 2,101,609 passengers of 1,938,865 were international passengers, 5.5 percent.
On a more modest scale, Oslo Airport noted a total of 2,843,175 passengers, up 0.5 percent.
The Nordic region's largest airport, Copenhagen Airport was down 1.2 percent, y-o-y, in July to 3,109,498 passengers, with volumes on the European routes down 1.5 percent while volumes on intercontinental routes were up 3.1 percent, to 392 348 passengers.
Stockholm Arlanda Airport was down by 3.9 percent in passenger volumes to 2,493,475, including 2,178,355 passengers on international routes, down 2.9 percent.
Hit the most was Iceland's Keflavik Airport where total volumes were down by 29 percent, y-o-y, to 843,473 passengers, reflecting the demise of WOW Air and other operators earlier serving the airport, as well as Icelandair's restructuring of the network and traffic due to the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet.
