Vienna Airport Passenger Traffic Up 1.7 Pct In June

Vienna Airport's passenger numbers rose 1.7 percent in June, driven by increasing demand for flights to Western Europe, the Middle East and North America.

Eastern European passenger traffic dropped by 2.3 percent, partly due to the crises in Russia and Ukraine, the airport said.

The number of transfer passengers rose 0.9 percent from a year earlier.

The total number of passengers reached about 2.2 million in June. Cargo rose 0.8 percent from June last year.
