# Zurich Airport Sets New Annual Passenger Record in 2025

Flughafen Zürich AG reported that Zurich Airport reached a new annual peak in passenger numbers in 2025, with 32.6 million passengers passing through the airport. This figure represents a 4.5% increase compared to the previous year and is 103.4% of the 2019 level, marking the first time that full-year passenger figures have exceeded pre-crisis levels. The number of air traffic movements rose to 270,116 in 2025, an increase of 3.5% from 2024, but remains 1.9% below 2019. Seat occupancy increased by 1.5 percentage points compared with 2019, reaching 79.8%, attributed to the use of larger aircraft and higher load factors.

In December 2025, the airport handled 2,545,889 passengers, a 7.3% increase year-on-year, and 35,824 tons of freight, a decrease of 4.2% from the same month the previous year.
