Turin Airport: major events fuel the race towards 5 million passengers following a positive year, and the announcement a few days ago of new investments by Ryanair.
Over 10% growth this winter
"The year got off to a good start in terms of performance. The winter season closed with a double-digit growth that exceeded 10%, the current summer will register a slightly lower increase than last year but still positive, but only in September will we be able to make a real balance,- said the airport’s managing director, Andrea Andorno. - In November we expect super growth, which gives us hope of getting closer and closer to the 5-million annual passenger mark.”
Ryanair will step up its presence at the airport
Ryanair, the first low-cost carrier operating from Caselle - followed by Wizz Air - plays a significant role in the growth of Turin airport. The Irish airline’s schedule for the next season will be very balanced, with an increase in both domestic and international flights. Some already served routes are being scheduled to better meet the needs of both business travellers and tourists and will allow even mor visitors to visit Turin and Piedmont, as well as offering more convenient travel combinations for locals.
“Targets have changed post Covid but the desire to travel remains”
“Over the last few years the way of travelling has changed and also the approach of travellers,- adds Andorno. -The events of the last few years, from Covid to political crises, have certainly had an influence. We have lost flights to Russia and Ukraine, and targets have changed but the desire to travel remains. The major international events that Turin organises and supports - from the Kappa Futur Festival, which has brought a large audience from Holland and Great Britain, to the ATP Finals, Artissima and Vuelta - are an excellent showcase and open up more markets, but it is a trend that must be sustained throughout the year, and one that becomes an invitation to return to Piedmont.”
