During the first three quarters of 2024, the airport welcomed 1,017,872 travellers, representing growth of 30.2% on the same period last year and an increase of 34.9% on the pre-pandemic 2019. The growth has been fuelled by a pronounced increase in leisure travel demand, particularly during the summer and autumn holiday seasons.
