September 3, 2021
It points out that despite the reluctance of a significant portion of the population to travel abroad and the complicated control procedures at airports, this year 50 airlines flew from Cyprus, compared to 70 in 2019, while most of them will continue to fly to Cyprus during the winter months.
Furthermore, it notes that in the first eight months of 2021 passenger traffic was 2,511,239, (33% of the same period in 2019), which demonstrates that we still have a long way to go until we reach the pre-pandemic figures.
Hermes says that the results of the summer season show more optimistic tendencies, as in August passenger traffic reached 867,104 passengers, (60% of 2019) while in June and July their number was 440,944 and 772,136 respectively. In August last year passenger traffic did not exceed 296,266 (Larnaka airport: 221,791, Pafos airport : 74,475).
