New passenger record for Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport: 25.57 million passengers in 2019

The decade that ended a few days ago ended in the most impressive way for Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. Passenger traffic reached a new record in 2019, at 25.57 million, up 6% from 2018 (24.13 million).

International passengers increased by 10.9%, while domestic passengers declined (-6.7%) due to reduced domestic services compared to the same period last year.

Overall, the number of flights during 2019 reached 225,628 (+ 3.9%), recording the airport's best historical performance in terms of number of flights.

In 2020, Athens Eleftherios Venizelos Airport will operate a new terminal, an expansion that will help it deal with passenger traffic which has risen significantly over the past few years.
