In 2024, Germany leads in the number of employees in services incidental to air transportation, with nearly 83,000, followed by the UK and Spain. The past year saw notable employee growth in Germany (3.66%) and Denmark (3.33%), while Italy and France experienced declines. Austria, Portugal, and Greece also showed positive employment trends. Noteworthy is a decline in employment in Serbia and Iceland, with Iceland experiencing a dramatic 40% reduction. Over the last five years, trends show a consistent, albeit slow, growth in the sector.
