Traffic Forecasts
EUROCONTROL STATFOR works with stakeholders to produce forecasts of future network traffic.
The figure below presents the EUROCONTROL 7-year forecast (2026-2032) for air traffic movements (IFR) in millions of flights. This Seven-Year Forecast (Autumn 2026) replaces the Spring 2026 forecast and incorporates the latest observed traffic trends and route patterns up to September 2026, together with updated economic forecasts from Oxford Economics (August 2026), revised airport capacity assumptions and recent geopolitical developments. The information is available by traffic zone (TZ) and includes actual traffic up to 2025 and different forecast scenarios (high, base, low) up to 2032. Simply select the TZ you are interested in from the drop-down menu to see the detailed information for each year.
For more information about the forecasts and the associated data, see the EUROCONTROL Forecast 2026-2032 publication.
Note: The traffic zone ‘Spain’ is the aggregated zone composed of ‘Spain-Canaries’ and ‘Spain-Continental’.
