In December 2022, significantly more aircraft took off and landed at Zurich Airport than in the previous year. The volume of traffic has thus come closer to the level before the corona crisis. In December, Zurich Airport registered a total of 17.334 flight movements.

Compared to the same period last year, this is an increase of 27 percent, according to figures from the airport website evaluated by the AWP news agency. Compared to December 2020, this means a doubling. The busiest day was December 23 with 670 aircraft movements. The least traffic was on New Year's Eve with 483 movements.

In December, the gap to the level before the corona crisis narrowed further. In December 2019, around 2600 or 13 percent more aircraft took off and landed in Zurich. Calculated for the whole of 2022, the difference is still around 22 percent.
