Eurocontrol Warns of Airport Constraints during Covid Recovery
Coronavirus safety measures will cause airports to reach saturation capacity at 60 to 75 percent of their peak 2019 traffic levels.

A study into Covid-19 recovery planning released by Eurocontrol Thursday recommends that airports concentrate on reducing the effects of space constraints caused by new “harmonized” security measures that EU member states must impose. Commissioned from the Airport Research Center (ARC) in collaboration with Airports Council International (ACI) Europe and other industry partners, the study assessed the effects of such measures on passenger journey time, terminal throughput, and boarding gate processing capacity.
