Our forecast was to break the milestone of 100 million passengers already this year, but now it looks like it will take until 2027. However, we still feel confident that we will reach that goal, said airport manager Paul Griffiths in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
For the entire first quarter, the number of passengers fell to 2.5 million, a drop of 21 percent compared to the corresponding period a year earlier.
Griffiths expects a strong recovery in the coming months, but so far only 51 out of 90 airlines have resumed flights that were halted because of the war.
