BERLIN / KARLSRUHE (dpa-afx) – The bankruptcy of Air Berlin has left holes in the schedule of German flights. Airports such as Karlsruhe in the first half of 2018, especially on German domestic routes counted fewer pbadengers, as reported the press agency of the German Airport Association. Above all, the strong growth in European traffic has ensured that, on the balance sheet, even more people were being processed at German airports.
According to ADV, 22.44 million pbadengers used the airports in June, a slight increase of 2.4% over the same month last year. The trend observed until May continued, as the decline in domestic traffic slows overall growth. For the semester the federation has now called a 5% less with pbadengers in the German domestic traffic.
