ADP, a French airport group, has confirmed its air traffic forecast for Paris for 2022 and 2023. This is due to a recovery in the Asian market and the fact that travellers are now able to take trips they couldn’t take during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The group remains confident and confirms its assumptions that traffic in Paris will be between 72% and 82% of what it was in 2019, and between 85% and 95% of what it was in 2023,” the company said in a statement, keeping a prediction from July.
The international airline trade group IATA said last month that the global air travel industry was getting back on its feet after the COVID pandemic.
“This summer, both in Paris and around the world, Groupe ADP saw a lot of good traffic,” said Augustin de Romanet, the CEO of ADP. “This trend has continued in the last few weeks as well.”
He had said before that France’s temporary unemployment law, which let businesses keep their workers during lockdowns while the state made sure they were paid, made it easy for the group to quickly get back to work when the pandemic was over.
