Passenger traffic and GDP at EU level

Passenger traffic increased, at a lower rate compared to the GDP on average at EU level from 2000 to 2019, as shown by the 0.6%/year decrease of the passenger transport intensity (pkm/GDP).
It fell, much more than GDP in 2020, because of travel restrictions linked to the Covid pandemic. Passenger transport intensity has been increasing since 2020 (+3.3%/year over 2020-2022, implying that passenger traffic recovered at a faster than pace than GDP). It remains under its pre-covid level (-13.5%).
