Eventually, this led to Germany’s first Top 10 Airports in Europe 2020 – Passengers (in m): lockdown on March 23rd, 2020.

The first ten weeks of 2020 indicated a fairly MOSCOW-SVO 19.8 inconspicuous development and eventually made up for FRANKFURT about 62 % of the full year traffic. However, since the plentiful 18.8 travel restrictions have never been fully lifted and even a MADRID 17.1 second lockdown was commenced towards the end of the ISTANBUL-SAW 17.0 year, traffic was unable to recover throughout the year.

The demand for air freight, however, remained high. Consequentially, the volume of air freight 35 % transported on full freighter aircraft grew by 9.2 % to 50,253 tons, but was not able to compensate for the losses, as the 2020 total capacity offered remained insufficient to match 65 % demand. The changes in traffic structures caused by the manifold restrictions led to a major shift in the relation between belly freight and full freighter freight. Owed to the aftermath of various COVID-related restrictions, there is a massive excess Belly freight Pure freighter demand for air freight, resulting in higher freight rates and the curious phenomenon of passenger aircraft being utilized as full freighters. This enabled the provision of the population and the economy with essential goods, and the share of pure freighters on the total air freight handled increased markedly 14 % (see illustration on the right).
