Antwerp Airport (ANR)

First six months of 2017: 131,674 passengers for Antwerp Airport

Share

In the first six months of this year Antwerp Airport has processed 131,674 passengers, a decrease of 14.5 percent compared to the same period last year when the airport welcomed 154,000 passengers.

Due to extraordinary circumstances last year after the 22 March attacks, 20,000 passengers were transported via Antwerp Airport. Also, VLM Airlines went bankrupt in June last year and the airport lost its connection to Hamburg with Chalair.

Positive signs for the airport: the number of passengers for June 2017 is 3.7 % higher than June 2016, thanks to TUI Fly Belgium, adding capacity on existing routes and opening new routes: four weekly flights to Murcia.

From Antwerp Airport you can currently fly to nine destinations: London City (CityJet), Alicante, Malaga, Barcelona, ??Murcia, Nador, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca and Split (TUI fly Belgium). There will be seasonal flights to Sion (PowdAir) and Innsbruck (TUI fly Belgium) at the end of this year.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
