Münster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO) recorded passenger growth of 2025 percent year-on-year in the first quarter of 12. A total of 124.000 passengers were handled. This growth follows a successful 2024, in which FMO recorded the highest growth of all German airports with 1,28 million passengers and a growth rate of 30 percent.
During the winter months, FMO benefited particularly from new Sundair connections to the Canary Islands and expanded Ryanair routes to Alicante and Mallorca. In addition, around 7.000 passengers were processed in March who had been diverted due to strikes at other airports.
However, the FMO anticipates a challenging business environment in the coming months. Lufthansa's cancellation of its Frankfurt route, the weak economic situation in Germany, declining business travel, and the postponement of holiday seasons pose additional hurdles. Combined with the high location costs in Germany, the FMO expects less favorable conditions, which could negatively impact the positive trend of recent months.
