Aena has revised «significantly upwards» its traffic growth estimate in its central scenario for 2024 up to 8.3% on 2023 figures, compared to the previous forecast of 3.8% in its central scenario and 7.1% in its high scenario, according to the information sent to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). This way, Aena expects that this year there will be more than 300 million passengers, since 8.3% is equivalent to 306.7 million passengers.. The firm has made this decision «after analyzing passenger data at Spanish airports in the first five months of the year.» «Traffic in 2024 is performing better than expected thanks to strong and constant demand. Proof of this is the 11.4% increase in the number of passengers at Aena airports in Spain in the first five months of the year compared to the same period in 2023,» highlights the firm. Aena also highlights that «the high supply of seats scheduled by airlines for the coming months, together with the improvement in the economic prospects announced by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for Spain and the level of demand from the main emitting countries, it has also been key to the foreseeable boom in air traffic.» «These reasons are limited, for the moment, to 2024 and They should not be transferred mimetically to the rest of the period of Aena's Strategic Plan«he concludes.
