Monthly Dutch Airport Traffic Figures for Aircraft, Passengers, and Cargo

Monthly figures from 1999 for aircraft movements, passenger numbers, and cargo/mail volumes at Dutch airports of national importance. The data is published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, with definitive figures up to 2022 and provisional updates for the current year. New monthly figures are typically published one month after the reporting period ends.
