Prague Airport: "The segment of legacy carriers was the only one demonstrating a positive growth by 1.5% in terms of passenger volumes. Low cost airlines posted a decline by 9.5% while charter traffic decreased by 22.6% year-on-year. January 2012 also confirmed the trend from the previous year of increasing share of point-to-point passengers to the detriment of transfer passengers. While the number of local passengers grew by 7.4%, transfer passenger volumes were down by 25.5%." Source: Company statement, 29-Feb-2012.
