A fall that goes from -51% to -79.5%! According to a study carried out by Flightright (a platform to assist with compensation in the event of canceled or delayed flights), frequentation of French airports, in terms of the number of flights, literally plummeted in July. If a drop in the frequency of flights was obviously expected due to the health crisis, the "vertiginous fall" recorded is surprising.
Thus, Flightright noted a drop of 79.5% for Toulouse-Blagnac airport, 75.7% for Bordeaux-Mérignac, and 72.5% for Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, the three most affected airports. by the decrease in attendance. Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle airport is doing better with a decline of 51%.
Only 900 flights in July in Toulouse
In terms of number of flights, this translates into 900 connections operated in July in Toulouse, against 3,300 in July 2019, or 1,400 flights in Lyon against 5,100 in 2019.
"This summer 2020 will undoubtedly be one of the worst for the airline sector," explains Laure Marc Martínez, international communications manager at Flightright, in a press release. The French have favored other modes of transport and foreign tourists, especially Europeans, have deserted France. "The communications manager adds, however, that" these data may change by the end of the summer with more frequentation in August. "
