Luxair has announced it achieved a historic milestone by transporting over 2.5 million passengers for the first time in 2023.
This achievement represented a 22% increase compared to the two million passengers in 2022, and also surpassed the pre-COVID-19 figures of 2019, when two million passengers were transported from Luxembourg airport.
This record performance for Luxair not marked a return to and exceeded pre-health crisis passenger volumes, highlighting a robust recovery and growth trajectory and showing that the quality offered by Luxair as a full-service carrier is well received among its customers in Luxembourg and the Greater Region.
Luxair currently offers 94 destinations across 33 countries. In 2023, Luxair enhanced its route network, adding destinations such as Pescara, Ljubljana, Milan Linate, La Palma and Praia. These new routes opened up unique travel opportunities for vacationers, business travellers and explorers alike.
