The number of commercial flights in the European Union is expected to increase by nearly 4% by 2025, reaching 6.9 million flights. Since 2021, a trend of continuous growth in this sector has been observed.

Amsterdam Airport is highlighted as the one that will have the largest number of air operations during this period, consolidating its position as a European hub.

This increase in flights reflects the gradual recovery of the aviation industry, which has faced significant challenges in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic and other global crises.

The data has been reported by various sources, with a consensus around the projected growth, although exact figures may vary as new assessments emerge.

Aviation industry entities and analysts note that this increase may bring economic benefits, although challenges related to infrastructure and sustainability still need to be addressed.
