Airport operators in Europe asked for more financial support to get through the coronavirus crisis after 2020 traffic sunk to a 25-year low.
Passenger numbers fell 70% to just 728 million last year, the weakest since 1995, lobby group ACI Europe said in a statement on Friday. Some governments have offered support, the body said, but only enough to cover less than 8% of lost revenue.
