Macquarie Asset Management (MAM) key airport assets recorded robust traffic performance across its global airport portfolio over the past 12 months, with some assets reaching record highs and others executing significant capacity expansion initiatives.
Bristol Airport in the UK transported over 10 million passengers in 2024, marking a record high and approximately 7% growth over 2023. This surge was fuelled by increased leisure demand and new route offerings to destinations like Istanbul and Agadir.
Birmingham Airport also achieved a record result, processing 13.004 million passengers in its 2024/25 financial year. The growth reflects strong airline scheduling and resilient demand from the West Midlands region and positions the airport for further expansion.
London City Airport handled in 3.6 million passengers in 2024, a 4.4% increase from the number of passengers handled in 2023. The UK Government’s August 2024 approval to increase its annual passenger capacity from 6.5 million to 9 million presents a significant opportunity for scaled growth.
