16 August, 11:37According to Pojedinec, the airport has been reaching all-time highs in the number of processed passengers for a third consecutive month. Following June and July, August should continue in this trend, as well. "We should exceed the level of 300,000 passengers again," said Pojedinec.
Bratislava airport processed 1,251,283 passengers in total in the first seven months of this year. This is an increase of 20 percent compared to the same period of last year. Among the busiest routes were those to London, Dublin, Moscow, Milan, Skopje and Kiev. Flights to Antalya (Turkey), Hurghada (Egypt), Thessaloniki, Creta and Rhodes (Greece) were the most in demand during the holiday season.
Pojedinec predicts that the airport will show record figures of processed passengers for the whole year, too. "If nothing extraordinary concerning security happens in the world, the 2018 results might break the previous all-time highs. We expect the number of passengers at about 2,240,000," said Pojedinec.
