Eindhoven Airport: Strong Summer Season and Record Passenger Numbers on May 25

Eindhoven Airport has had a very successful summer season (March 29 through October 25, 2026), with a total of 4,675,648 passengers. It was a summer season with minimal operational delays and/or cancellations. A passenger record was also broken. On Monday, May 25, the airport welcomed 25,487 passengers, the highest single-day total in Eindhoven Airport’s history. The previous record, set on May 5, 2025, stood at 24,935 passengers.

In addition to the more than 4.6 million passengers (arrivals and departures combined), the airport recorded a total of 25,946 flight movements (takeoffs and landings). This means that Eindhoven Airport welcomed more passengers this summer season than in the summer of 2025 (nearly 4.6 million passengers), while the number of flight movements was lower than in 2025 (26,719 flight movements).

For the first time in Eindhoven Airport’s history, both May and August saw more than 700,000 passengers per month (May: 718,689; August: 704,208). By comparison, in May and August 2025, the figures were 690,746 and 689,170 passengers, respectively. The average load factor per flight (arrival or departure) this summer season was 182 passengers. That represents 91 percent of seat capacity. The three most popular destinations this summer season were Málaga, London, and Alicante.

Passenger satisfaction during the summer season (April through October) was high, with an average Net Promoter Score of 41, the same as that of the 2025 summer season. Passengers are generally satisfied with their travel experience through Eindhoven Airport. Despite the high volume of traffic during the summer season, passenger satisfaction remained high, with convenience and smooth traffic flow contributing positively to the overall experience. At the same time, we note that the construction work for the terminal expansion and the temporary facilities are affecting the overall passenger experience. With the completion of the renovation in sight and the opening of the terminal expansion on July 19, 2027, we expect passenger satisfaction to rise.
