Umbria’s International San Francesco d'Assisi Airport ranks second in Europe for passenger traffic growth in the category of airports with traffic under ten million passengers per year.
Umbria’s airport posted +137% in the first semester
The figure for the first half of 2023 published by Airports Council International (ACI), puts the airport right after another Italian airport, Trapani. The report highlights how regional and minor airports completely recovered their pre-pandemic passenger volumes in the first half of the year, closing the month of June with an average +2.2% compared to 2019. Perugia, with an increase of +137%, recorded the second-best performance in the first half of the year. 
“There are still further margins for growth”
Umberto Solimeno, General Director of Umbria Airport, commented: 'We are proud to once again be ranked among the airports in our category with the best growth rate in Europe. Umbria is increasingly considered a relevant and desired destination on the Italian and European scene, and we are convinced that there are still further margins for growth."
