Hannover-Langenhagen Airport is recording increasing passenger numbers in the first half of 2024 and is approaching the level before the corona pandemic. Around 2,2 million passengers used the airport, around 15 percent more than in the same period last year. 5,3 million passengers are expected for the full year, which is almost the same as in 2019 with almost six million passengers.
Popular destinations in the first half of the year were the Turkish airports of Istanbul and Antalya, the holiday resorts of Mallorca and Hurghada, and the domestic destinations of Munich and Frankfurt. There were no problems with check-in or security checks at the start of the summer holidays.
Capacity utilization of the new routes to Italy and Malaga in Spain was in line with expectations. Eurowings, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, has expanded its base in Hanover and will fly to 17 destinations in the summer, including Rome, Naples, Catania and Bergamo. Cargo traffic at Hanover Airport also increased by 24 percent in the first half of the year, an area that had become more important during the pandemic.
