Vinci SA said Tuesday that passenger traffic at its airports
sharply declined again in the third quarter as countries stepped up
restrictions to curb the coronavirus pandemic in September.
Vinci Airports--a subsidiary of Vinci Concessions, owned by
Vinci--said passenger traffic fell 79% in the third quarter to 15
million across its 45 airports. Passenger numbers were down 68%
from January to September, it said.
During the second quarter, which was marked by lockdowns and
travel restrictions world-wide, traffic fell 96.4% to 2.38 million
passengers.
The uptick in the third quarter compared with the previous one
was driven by tourists and people travel ling to see friends and
family members during the summer, Vinci Airports said.
"Passenger traffic was able to pick back up somewhat over the
summer season as border closures were gradually lifted from June 15
in the Schengen Area and travel restrictions in many countries were
relaxed," it said, adding that "airports handling primarily
tourist, family and domestic flights were best placed to take
advantage of these conditions in July and August."
However, countries imposed more restrictions again in September
to face rising number of coronavirus infections and such measures
affected traffic at its airports, the company said.
