7.8 million passengers in 2023. Its traffic grew by 11% compared with 2022, driven by international traffic, which now accounts for 57% of the total volume. Travelling further afield and differently are trends seen in recent years. This is a lasting change affecting all journeys, whether for leisure or business.

To support these new travel practices as best it can, the airport continues to open up Toulouse to the world, while striving to develop a well thought-out, sustainable business model.

The launch of the first scheduled long-haul routes with Air Canada and Qatar Airways in 2023 is just one example. The connection with Montreal provides a gateway to North and Central America, while Doha strengthens links with the Middle East, Asia and Oceania. Dakar, Bari, Florence and Paphos were also among the new destinations on offer in 2023.

These new routes offer a wide range of travel experiences, with direct flights or connections to the world’s major hubs, underscoring the strategic position of our airport in greater South-West of France and our region’s reach abroad.

2023 was also a year of many firsts for Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. Major projects were undertaken, mostly related to the sustainable development of our activities, including the launch of an ultra-fast, self-service electric vehicle charging station (the first of its kind in France), the creation of the Airport Operation Centre (APOC), the upgrading of the hold baggage inspection and screening system, the signing of the first bank loan backed by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives, and the opening of the HyPort hydrogen production and distribution station.

As France’s leading airport in terms of service quality for 10 consecutive quarters, Toulouse-Blagnac Airport has been rewarded for its steadfast commitments and its professional teams and partners helping to create a welcoming, efficient, and committed hub.

We continue to pursue excellence by decarbonising our activities, delivering a top-quality offering, and creating value for our region. We are accelerating our transformation to design the airport of tomorrow and therefore better meet the expectations of our various stakeholders.

Christian Cassayre, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Philippe Crébassa, Chairman of the Executive Board
