One source of information i can think of would be to make a list of all 
major airline, and check the annual financial report. it will include 
somes general datas
Then, crosscheck with the country population , and you will have a very 
rough estimate.


here is the summary from Luxair (luxembourg) -2004 (GDL : 470.000 hab)

Passengers * 1,171,292

here is the summary from SN brussels airline (belgium) -2004 ( belgium : 
10.3 mil hab)

Number of passengers handled 3,582,304

here is the summary from Ryanair (lowcost) 2004 - 15 airport in Europe 
(CE-15 : 461 mil hab.)

passengers : 26,582,633

here is some info from Air senegal (senegal : 11.6 mil hab.)

Passengers 2004 : 420000

This dont give you data table for country to country, but it give you a 
rough estimate of the general traffic from/to a place, given its size 
and political/economical situation.

( i wanted to get some info from US airlines, but ... i cannot handle 
that kind of financial report at 7 in the morning .... so many numbers 
and footnotes , so few nice pictures and pretty speeches ...)

And now, for the real gem , found while looking for report :
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page?_pageid=0,1136228,0_45572948&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page?_pageid=0,1136228,0_45572945&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

All the information about road/rails/sea/air transport, passenger and 
cargo, in the EU, with possibilities of making custom tables by any 
parameters...

i just made a 25 by 25 table of air passenger traffic between countries 
in the EU, in 2005. wich would be what you want i guess.

(you can even order the dvd ... 20€
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page?_pageid=1073,46587259&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&p_product_code=KS-DX-04-001

This Everything on transport statistics DVD-ROM is a repository of all 
public documents and data related to transport statistics in Europe and 
main partner countries. It contains about 27 million items of 
statistical data and more than 900 documents, mostly produced by 
Eurostat’s transport unit. Some documents related to transport 
statistics are also issued from other units of Eurostat (environment, 
business statistics, regional data, ...) or from other DGs of the 
European Commission, such as the Directorate-General for Energy and 
Transport. This work relies on the European statistical system, which 
for transport statistics is mainly represented by the national 
statistical institutes and the ministries of transport of the European 
Union Member States plus Norway and Switzerland. This third edition 
gives access to new data, publications and legal acts related to 
statistics for all transport modes.
