The Bern AirportBelp closed the 2024 financial year with a break-even result. The airport company reported a profit of approximately 57.000 Swiss francs, equivalent to approximately 61.000 euros. This result was lower than the previous year, due to reduced one-off effects compared to 2023.
Passenger numbers at the airport remained at a comparable level to the previous year, with 56.745 passengers. However, the airport recorded a 6,6 percent decline in total flight movements. The company expects traffic figures to stabilize at approximately 50.000 flight movements per year in the medium term. Bern Airport, historically known as Bern-Belp, plays a role in regional air traffic, general aviation, and charter and business flights.
As an infrastructure operator, the airport company is focused on the further development of its facilities. The replacement of diesel-powered vehicles with electric vehicles continued during the reporting year to increase operational efficiency and meet modern standards. Such investments are part of the ongoing efforts to update airport infrastructure and meet the demands of modern air traffic. Bern Airport is a key regional transport hub and is important for the economy of the Canton of Bern and for tourism in the surrounding Alpine region. A stable financial year is crucial for maintaining operations and securing jobs at the site, as airports are often viewed as key infrastructure projects that contribute to a region's connectivity.
