The Group’s activities are, by nature, seasonal activities alternating peaks in traffic at our airports during holiday periods and weeks of more moderate traffic. Post-covid, as activity resumes, we are seeing in the offer of airlines a strengthening of the effect of seasonality could further boost performance in the second half. Our assumptions remain unchanged with expected traffic in 2023 up to 93% of 2019 level at Paris Aéroport, and at a level close to that of 2019 at group level.
