Zurich Airport continues to suffer from the corona pandemic. Last month, exactly 228.050 passengers flew over the airport - this corresponds to a decrease of 74,4 percent compared to the same period of the previous year.

Compared to March 2019, the number of passengers is even 90,6 percent lower. The number of local passengers fell by 72.3 percent to 181.734, the proportion of transfer passengers fell by 81,2 percent to 43.462. The number of flight movements looks just as bleak, compared to the same month last year, only 5.792 take-offs or landings were registered - a decrease of 48 percent.

In contrast, the freight sector turned out to be the only bright spot. With 33.038 tons of air and road freight, 29,6 percent more was handled than in March 2020. It was also significantly more than in the previous month of February, when 28.602 tons of freight started its journey via Zurich Airport.
