In 2022, passenger numbers at Rotterdam The Hague Airport (RTHA) will be back at the level of 2019 (the last year before corona). In the first months of 2022, corona still played a major role and there was hardly any air traffic. The unused slots from the winter period have been moved to the summer months, which have been used by various airlines. Where normally air transport movements are spread more evenly over the year, there was now a larger peak in the summer months. Despite the staff shortages, things went well operationally at RTHA in 2022. Passenger satisfaction remained high and all passengers went through the processes in a timely manner to catch their flight.
In total, 2022 passengers traveled to and from RTHA in 2.112.679, which is a 180% increase compared to the corona-ravaged 2021. Compared to 2019, it is an increase of 0,8%. The number of commercial air transport movements amounted to 2022 in 15.772, which is 156% more than in 2021. This is 5% less than in 2019, when there were 16.683 air transport movements in this segment. In 2022, RTHA was flying to 57 different destinations. In 2021 there were 36 and in 2019 48.
The trauma helicopter accounted for 2022 air transport movements in 5.951. This is an increase of 11% compared to 2021 and 20% compared to 2019. The trauma helicopter was called out more often, especially at night. The cause of this is unknown to RTHA. In addition to a good operation, RTHA has taken great steps in 2022 to make the airport more sustainable. For example, diesel is no longer used and all ground operations are carried out with fossil-free fuel HVO100. In addition, the first three electrical ground power units (eGPU) have been commissioned and are RTHA entered into a partnership to promote sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) among travelers.
