Easter 2025: A Record-Breaking Weekend for Global Air Travel



🐣 As Easter 2025 approaches, the aviation industry is preparing for one of its busiest weekends in recent history. With over 11,000 flights scheduled globally, this marks a 6% increase compared to Easter 2024, highlighting a continued surge in passenger demand.


Travel expert Simon Calder notes, "The aviation sector is experiencing a robust recovery, with Easter serving as a testament to the industry's resilience and the public's eagerness to travel."

Approximately 2 million British holidaymakers are anticipated to travel abroad over the Easter weekend. Popular destinations include Spain, Portugal, and Turkey. Airports like Manchester are expecting record numbers, with 320,000 passengers forecasted, a 7% increase from the previous year.

The U.S. is experiencing a surge in air travel, with over 1.5 million passengers passing through TSA checkpoints on April 2, setting a new pandemic-era record. Charlotte Douglas International Airport anticipates accommodating approximately 2.9 million travelers during spring break, marking a 4.6% decrease in passenger traffic compared to the record-breaking levels of spring break 2024. Houston airports are expecting around 2.3 million passengers over 12 days from March 6-17, a 6% increase from the previous year.

The Easter weekend of 2025 underscores a significant rebound in global air travel, reflecting both the industry's recovery and the public's renewed enthusiasm for international travel.

However, this resurgence will bring with it challenges for airports and airlines, with several predicting delays due to air traffic control issues and airport infrastructure.

“We’re going to be in for some really tough three or four months coming up [for the US aviation industry] because I don’t see any short-term solutions to try to satisfy the demand when you don’t have the staff to support it,” — Peter Greenberg, CBS News Senior Travel Advisor.

"Air traffic control strikes are causing chaos and disruption to flights. We're doing everything we can to minimize delays, but these ATC issues are a significant cause of unnecessary delays and cancellations." – Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair.​
