"The increase in air traffic by 2025," commented Enac President Pierluigi Di Palma in a note, "is a strong and unequivocal signal of the sector's definitive recovery and the centrality of air transport for the country's economic growth, competitiveness and connectivity. The sector confirms itself as a strategic lever for the national economy, capable of supporting tourism, business and international competitiveness', highlighting the growth of smaller airports such as Reggio Calabria, Rimini, Pescara and Trieste.

For the President of Assaeroporti, Carlo Borgomeo, "The 230 million passengers that will transit through Italian airports in 2025 represent a very important goal for the sector, which has more than doubled its volumes in twenty years, from 113 to 230 million travellers. This result confirms the solidity of the sector and its resilience, even in a complex global context, marked by geopolitical tensions and protectionist measures that condition international flows". Assaeroporti added that "Cargo also recorded significant performances, consolidating its role in the logistics sector, which is crucial for the competitiveness of Italian companies. Our hope,' Borgomeo concluded, 'is that the institutions can accompany and encourage this growth path'.
