#15 In EuropeThe airport operations industry in Europe has faced significant challenges and fluctuations in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact, leading to unprecedented passenger numbers and aviation traffic declines. Travel restrictions, lockdowns and decreased demand for air travel resulted in substantial revenue losses for airports across the continent. Many airports were forced to adapt by reducing staff, cutting costs and seeking financial assistance from governments. As a result, the industry witnessed a severe downturn, with many airports operating at minimal capacity.
