Publication of our ATD Survey: Key Figures and Trends in Global Air Traffic in 2024

Dear readers,

As we’ve done every year since 1996, our global air traffic survey aims to provide a clear and accurate snapshot of airport activity worldwide. For this 2024 edition, nearly 3,000 airports were surveyed, thanks to the active collaboration of airport authorities, operators, and managers. This effort allows us to present data that is reliable, sourced, and thoroughly verified.

This survey is at the core of our mission: to provide our clients with a consolidated, reliable, and analytical view of global air traffic.

Beyond the numbers, it highlights the key trends that defined 2024: uneven regional recoveries, the rise of new airport hubs, and the growing impact of evolving connectivity strategies.

The global skies are being reshaped—supported by data. Some major players confirm their dominance, others decline, while new entrants are gradually making their mark, sometimes in unexpected regions.

A detailed version of the survey is now available.

Additionally, we offer a dedicated support service that includes the option to submit custom requests to refine your analysis or receive tailored data extracts to suit your needs.

Wishing you a great summer,

The ATD Team
